Dad as Young Man

The image to the left was unknown to me until 2006. The time is uncertain but presumably early 40s. The ones below are all 1970.
Laverne had a high IQ, but was unable to find a better use for it than various criminal hustles, the largest of which resulted in the
bust reported in the Chicago Tribune, Feb 13 1965 to the right. 2020-03-04 I retrieved it and some similar articles from that paper and they
put some things in context. He had been given probation for a '49 dope charge so there was a minimum 10 year sentence in '65, from which
he was released by presidential pardon in late '69 due to cancer (where the IQ report of 160 was a factor).
A charismatic individual whose demeanor covered fairly tragic circumstances, despite a lack of a socially acceptable career, he had
very solid bourgeois values, similar to other siblings who were raised by a very strong single parent mother who was said to be a
bootlegger in the prohibition, owned an apartment building and imparted those values to her sons, who unlike my father were successful
in various working class areas such as construction, etc.
