</td><td><img src="http://meansofproduction.biz/images/bust.png"></td> | The image to the left was unknown to me until 2006. The time is uncertain but presumably late 40s, early 50s. The ones below are all 1970.<br><br> | ||
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). <br><br> | |||
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 | |||
entrepreneurs in various working class areas such as construction, etc. <br><br>You might think that due to the aforementioned | |||
circumstances he was considered a failure but this is actually the opposite of the case. While his life was not long it was lead with | |||
enough dignity and style to command respect and not just by his family. | |||
