@john-barry Ah....this picture brings back memories. Oh what I would give to be young and Amish again......
I don`t think so Tim 😑Â
Gee this pic jogs my memory but triggers sadness as well. Poor little Jimmy Locke was excited to be given his own Mars distribution route and transportation by the Sox brothers but ambition got the better of his judgement. Jimmy Mars, as he preferred to be called on the street, made the fateful decision to muscle in on the Dodds' Oh Henry turf. Late one autumn evening the terrifying sound of capgun fire was heard blocks away. Jimmy Locke was never seen again although rumor persisted that he was banished to purgatory in an Amish community in Pennsylvania. His burned out trike was fished outa the harbour. Thereinafter the Dodds Brothers were known as The Kings of Candyland. Bobby and Argyle fled to New York's garment district and went to ground making men's hosiery
@jack-dodds .....forget it Jack....that`s the Chocolate business.....if it hadn`t been Jimmy takin` the ride,all dressed up in that dreadful bunny outfit,it would `o been some other kid
@jack-dodds .....nougat !!!......jus` sayin` the name gives a guy the willies....Alice`s kid brother got all hepped up on the nougat.....got so bad, his folks made him sleep outside,on the porch
@john-barry I heard about that....he downed the stuff and started thinking he was ten feet tall.....lost all logic and proportion apparently.....insisted people call him Jeremiah....go figure.
@jack-dodds ....he did,however,develop tongue snatching skills far beyond that of an ordinary man.....eventually went to work for the Bunko Squad boys,breaking up those cockroach gambling dens in East Cicero
Please refer to JayBee's post from yesterday titled "First In The Water"....go to the second to last post with picture on page 2. There you will find Marsha's surname.
