Thank you pedalmasher! That’s very kind of you to say. Sadly I only had the opportunity to meet him once before he passed away, but it was a day I’ll never forget. I greatly appreciate your taking the time to respond! :)
I agree “Bugeye” – it was really interesting reading about the robbery hoax as well, as then-Police Captain Guy O. Wathen was my grandfather too. I’ve heard mostly second-hand accounts of much of his life, so this was a bit of a thrill to see an “on duty” account of him. :)
