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 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.
