I was watching this movie during my lunch hour at work a few years ago. One of the guys from the paint shop walks by and says, "Is that Scarface? You're watching a movie about my great uncle." He brought in a big scrap book of newspaper articles the next day. Turns out his grandfather wanted nothing to do with his brother's mayhem. He even changed his last name because of it. Then became a lawman and a famous sharp shooter. And then famous for rounding up bootleggers across the West coast states.

Bill, the short little Italian guy with the short fuse I'd worked with for years, had memories of sitting on the famous bear rug of his great uncle up in Mercer, WI. Every year, Capone's henchmen would go door to door, paying everyone in town hush money. I'd taken a vacation as a kid up in Mercer, swam in the crawfish filled lake, had my first run in with a Muskie. No idea of the history of that place. Not much going on up there. Good place to hide.

So, just goes to show, you never know who's working next to you, do you?
