"Alcatraz Day"

Theodore Cole and Ralph Roe disappeared from Alcatraz on 16 December 1937 and were never seen again. Prison authorities believed they had drowned. A San Francisco Chronicle reporter declared four years later that they were still alive in South America.

Clarence Anglin, his brother John, and Frank Morris also disappeared from Alcatraz on 11 June 1962 and were never seen again. Their escape was made famous by Clint Eastwood's movie. Prison authorities also believed they had drowned.

During the last escape from Alctraz, John Paul Scott, 35-years old, swam from the island to Fort Point, under the southern part of the Golden Gate Bridge, proving that it could be done by a convict. That was 25 years later to the day after Cole and Roe escaped.

As a Federal Penitentiary and from a total of 1,033 prisoners, 34 men had attempted to escape in fourteen (14) separate attempts; of those, 23 were caught, 6 were shot and killed, and 5 are missing and assumed by Prison Authorities to have drowned.

Alcatraz Federal penitentiary was officially closed on March 21, 1963.

Excerpts from Escape from Alcatraz

“Be still my Heart”.....now I know WHY I love Taylor! Thats the kind of music he does that I adore. I got very sentimental listening to that. That was played or sung,at my oldest son’s wedding....trying to think who made it popular back then, can’t think of his name (the very popular blind singer) why do I have such a mental block on that? I know it as well as my own name........duh?

Good Afternoon To Amy's Place.

I have a poem appropriate for “Middle Children Day”.

It’s called “Middlin’”. Unfortunately, I’m off in the wilds of Central Pennsylvania and I don’t have access to my files.

.

Y’all will have to console yourselves by knowing that I’m thinking about you.
