I remember visiting him, first driving to Steilacoom, then catching the boat to the Island. I have his letters and his number and I was wondering how I would be able to access his file.

He was sentenced for bootlegging during Prohibition. I've requested his prison file and am waiting impatiently for it to arrive in the mail. I'm excited but nervous! Do I really want to know what's in that file?? Maybe, maybe not.J.

There's even a few judges and magistrates in the family tree.
