good talk

I recently stopped-off at "Whiskey Pete's" Casino in Primm, just west of Las Vegas.  And there is the "Bonnie and Clyde" car, the riddled-Ford, Big V-8, touring-car (Clyde wrote a letter to Henry Ford, praising his big V-8's, saying that these were his preference to steal), in which Bonnie and Clyde met their demise on May 23, 1934 (See My Blog For Jan. 26, 2016).  I had seen it here a few years ago, it seems to be a permanent-feature, long-ago I saw it in Carson City.  And there's a documentary, narrated in-part by Marie Barrow, Clyde's sister, and the baby of a large-family.  Marie at this time, 1988, was a nice-looking, well-spoken, older-lady, the only one to live to an advanced-age, "80", 1999.  Speaking of her 2 famous outlaw-brothers, Clyde, and the older, Marvin (Buck)  ...I loved my brothers very much.  Clyde gave me a bicycle, I don't know how he got it, which I kept well into adulthood...  Bonnie (Bonnie Elizabeth Parker, Oct. 1, 1910) and Clyde (Clyde Chestnut Barrow, March 24, 1909), had only been on their Crime-Spree of robbing-banks for a little-over 2 years, on that fateful-day, Buck was already-dead. A camera with film had been found in a car that they had abandoned, and the pictures were shown in newspapers, including one of Bonnie with a cigar in her mouth.  The pretty, petite, 4'11", Bonnie, ever-after would tell temporary-hostages or whomever  ...Tell them I don't smoke cigars... They were taken by ambush as confronting-them had resulted in the killings of 13 Lawmen, little-Bonnie somehow, was able to take the kick of a Browning Automatic Rifle (Thompson Sub-Machine Guns, which shot a .45 caliber-bullet, were too pansy for the Barrow Gang, as they wouldn't penetrate the steel-bodies of cars, the BAR's .30-06 Springfield Copper-Jacketed, did), and by all accounts, direct murderous-fire as well as any man.  Bonnie, who only went to the 8th Grade, was very-bright and a talented-poetess (check it out) ...From heartbreak some people have suffered, from weariness some people have died.  But take it all in all, our troubles are small, till we get like Bonnie and Clyde...To few it'll be grief, to the law a relief, but it's death for Bonnie and Clyde...  Both bodies had over 50 bullet-wounds, 16-year old Marie, who had sat-in on many family-gatherings with Bonnie and her 2 fugitive brothers, was sentenced to one hour in Federal Custody
