He was in charge of the crew that dredged the lagoon to bring the Underwood to the surface. He was the grandfather of former Cook County Sheriff Michael Sheahan, who was his namesake.Jean Lotushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08035677024005539971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-38603413959027778592012-06-06T18:41:03.743+10:002012-06-06T18:41:03.743+10:00Hullo hullo

Dark moments like this are equally a part of that story. <br /><br />As Adwoa has eloquently pointed out, they have often been present at mankind's worst moments; sitting as a silent witness to tragedies unfolding while often being the unwitting accomplice. <br /><br />I've always wished that the old telephones and typewriters I own could tell the tales of their former lives. My scarred Remington 16. My W38 (made 1940) German telephone that I brought back from Germany myself - etc.- I'm sure many things have passed by their aged keys and microphones that would be fascinating to hear.Scott Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13243020164163596709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-44473789773186426482012-06-05T05:21:34.089+10:002012-06-05T05:21:34.089+10:00Thrilling story.

The names are famous, but I had no idea they were anything but run of the mill thugs.<br /><br />The Kansas City Federal Archive currently has an exhibit on gangsters and mobsters of that era. Many of the original documents on display are typewritten and have a distinct look and feel.Dwayne F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07032059161503386028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-74532750911001966192012-06-04T14:38:02.979+10:002012-06-04T14:38:02.979+10:00i love your blog. thank you.i love your blog. thank you.trent rekernoreply@blogger.com
