My granny and her brother’s grew up with Bonnie and Clyde. I enjoy every story there is. My uncle was a crime lord as well. Back then it was slot machines. Thank you taking the time to comment. I love looking back. It was also a great music day!

They were a pair, I never get old of the story. They grew up with my grannny and her brother’s. My granny would sit on the counter as a young girl in Clyde’s mother store. When you grew up in West Dallas, where all the poor people lived, plenty of trouble can be found. I have an article if my uncle robbing a grocery store and getting caught, I don’t remember his punishment. I love a good mafia story. :)

I think so, my affection for crime started early and I’m totally fasicinated by the mafia. Today more for the Russian Costa Nostra. I could tell who were with the mob while in Russia because they were having lunch around 3:00 with a young honey, no one is the resturant but me. One guy very well dressed, came in close to my table and said AMERICAN, I just smilled at him. In another life if such a thing I want to be a crime boss wife! You now know how totally crazy I am.
