AIR TEA WITH LUCKY!!

he year is 193?, probably two or three, as I was probably two or three.  The scene is outdoors, just outside the estate of my dearest love, Mr. Lucky Luciano, AKA Charles Salvatore Lucania.  You think I done that name backwards?  Nope! 

For, you see one day, Mr. Lucky, I call "lud key", was very angry...he was made at his family,

Burl, King of the Jungle?

he year was 1933,  or somewhere thereabouts.  Blackie Daddy and little Dawnie were "on-the-rail".  Now, don't think that meant hitchin' a ride on a freight car!  For that was most verboten!  For you see, many inspectors ride those freight trains, even walking on top, jumping from one freight car to another, even when the

This is a "Brief Description of my Blog":

As stated in my earilest Blog I believe my preschool childhood and my eleventh year of life should be a best seller book.  Howecver, since I am living solely on Social Security with Medi-Care  (like Medi-Cal) assistance for Macular Degeneration and other medical proablems, I cannot sell my book.

Why?  Because if a

he place of this event, unclear; yet, seems to most likely be somewhere in the mid-west in the early 1930's.

And, as one wanders towards a Wild, Wild, West Show, just a ways before you would enter the tented area, a large rustic wooden signs captures the eye.

AL Capone

do remember Al, known to most as Al Capone.  However, as you will read elsewhere in my memoirs, to me, he was Alberto Capone', our special secret.  Although, I only knew him as a very young child, not yet attending school, Al was an unforgettable person.  It is now over fifty years since his death (1947) and yet periodically you will see his

IN THE WELL!

s covered elsewhere in my stories, my Mother had saved up her meager pay of $99.00 each month (One dollar short of a "bill", because Trinity County thought I deserved $1.00 a month) and bought a lovely little brand new cottage.  Yep, she managed to save up $2,000.00 in two years.  As was expected by my mother, my

Now, the very worst is on the way!  For, once little Dawn is alone in the vault, she remembers her role, which has been somehow forgotten until everyone leaves.  She is to watch the clock, high on the wall in the walk-in vault.  And at a certain time she knows what she is to then do.  Right now she huddles on the dank cold floor waiting

Yet, unbeknownst to the child, the worst was yet to come! Even so between the here and now the little child-hood Dawn very nearly takes a na.  No need to listen much to the conversation of the bank attendant and Mr. Siegal, as she had been here before with Bugs.   Oh, she knows well their type of discussion to be nothing mch, in fact a truffle

CHILD-HOOD

The year is 193?, early 1930s.  The scene is a bank, most likely somewhere in the mid-west.  actual locality now a mystery.  And what with recalling this infamous event, seventy-nine year old Dawn begins to itch and internally squirm a bit.  For she now remembers that she did not like, one tiny bit, her Child-Hood role in this

CHILD-HOOD! 

Hi!

My life story, at least the first few years of my life, should be one helluva book!  Butt-since I live solely on early Social Security, $825.00 a month,  financial success for me, would be a "downer". 

Why?  Because if I have over $2,000.00 I will lose my Medicaid (like Medi-Cal).  And since I am going blind, requiring eye injections every
