Banadin: Blog

Exactly one reader came up with John "Red" Hamilton one of the John Dillinger gang. Red and two others robbed a bank in St. Mary's Ohio to get money to support breaking Dillinger out of a jail. They did so. Later Hamilton was severely wounded in a bank robbery. The doctor they normally used refused to treat him. He was with Dillinger and Baby Face Nelson when he died. They buried him in an unmarked grave and even disfigured him. There were reports that he had not died. The body was found and identified by prison dental records. In my story I took the liberty of having his records changed at the prison. He lived. But maybe not happily ever after. My congratulations to the person who sent it in. I do not have permission to publish their name. Several others came close with the Dillinger gang. Banadin

I made an error. A note for chapter 11 refers to a mystery. It is actually in chapter 12. I didn't mean to make it a teaser. Sorry about that.

I will be on the road next week so will only post on Fridays for the next two weeks instead of Tuesday and Friday.

I have been able to remove the brace I've had to wear since my Dupuytrens procedure. Try typing with a brace locking your ring and little finger together on your right hand (I'm right handed.) The brace also stuck out two inches more than my fingers. Don't even ask my wife about getting smacked in the head in the middle of the night. Honey it's the brace! I'm sticking to that story. I know others on the site have had much worse trials and tribulations and I feel for them, but happy that my little problem is better.

I accidently wrote the 5th chapter in 3PoV instead of 1. I just reposted in 1PoV. This past week I had injections to fix my Dupuytrens, is a condition where a finger is bent and cannot be straighten. I ended up with injections in fingers and palm of my hand. Plus I had a twelve hour drive each way to get to the Doctor. That is my story and I am sticking to it. Frankly I don't know how I got anything posted. Sorry for the confusion and many thanks to those that pointed it out.
