You've taught me too well, Scott! Grasshopper remembers this guy. :wink ... :heh This is Moses Fleetwood Walker, right? Played in the major leagues, 6 decades before Jackie Robinson. Buried in Union Cemetery, Steubenville, OH. |

This woman was a former congressional aide. She made many unwise decisions, including stealing money from a woman who had dementia. In her early 70s, she reported to prison recently to begin serving her sentence. Posted Image |

Linda Kovachik. I should have known Ohio was involved. Being an aide to Traficant was a bonus! |

Lol Yes, I just happened to find her photo among all of Traficant's photos. There's even a grainy youtube video of her singing a song she wrote for Jim Traficant, which she could as easily sing about herself: "Beam me up and set me free , you know they had it in for me, Ten counts were held against me , I'm as sad as I can be" There are a couple more lines, I think, but you'd have to see it on youtube to catch them, I guess. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6UmmuyWrnY |

This gent played the heavy in several Charlie Chaplin films usually while sporting very exaggerated eyebrows and mustache. Died young in a 1917 car crash. Posted Image |

That's right. I thought this one might take a longer time than it did. He played the waiter in Chaplin's film, The Immigrant (can be seen in full on youtube.) Very funny! |

Uhoh. Google "Esther Phillips" and "Baby Esther" and see what happens. |

:oops OK, it appears that the photo is actually Esther Phillips, though the web page where I got it was about Esther Jones whose voice and singing style were the inspiration for the cartoon Betty Boop. |

Evidently many people mistake Esther Phillips for "Baby" Esther Jones. I wouldn't have known but there was a web site that made that point. Do you want to go again? |
