jean marc Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Link for part 1 : to click on the title here below PART 2 : #32 At the end of the prohibition, near New Orleans, Dad had a bad affair with the Chicago mob and Frank Costello #32b They did not want to pay the agreed price for the barrels after the delivery. Dad found a way to get the money and they were very against him after that.He had to be hide for a while in the Ozark forest. Mr Connely told me the story : "You need to be out of that shit, Fynn. The end is always bad with these shooting monsters. They could be sometimes sympathical guys first but all of them are killers..." #33 #34 [Polish RWD-8] I remember he had a strange Polish plane, I saw some parts of the wings in the old barn."It was the cheapest plane, Fynn, and a pretty good one !" In Mississippi, Dad & Mr Connely helped three escaped prisoners near Greenville. "One of them, he named Ulysse, was an Irish, so we had to help them. We left these guys in the bayous. Well, we spent a very good time : they were totally crazy !" Mister Connely laughed until he cried... #35 #36 #37 #38 [Sopwith Camel 1923] Dad came back a few times in Arkansas and Mississippi during his last few years to collect orders and make deliveries... Indeed, after the end of the prohibition, his life became better. But by there, in the fields, life was still very hard for all the people, ever for the white. I know that Mary's parents had still to struggle constantly to get a minimum. #39 #40 #41 #42 #43 #44 [Ryan ST] I am weak, sad. That's the second day, still nobody to open this damned door. And still no sound outside. I try to think about beautiful things to keep courage and hope. #45 #46 #47 #48 [Piper Cub] MARY - Cincinatti police station 1955 They have just come back from the park and said they did not find anyone. I am pretty sure they did not search him everywhere.They know he is black.They were smiling. I hate them. Where is Fynn ? What is this world ? I would like to pick him and go far away, as far as possible #49 [Piper Cub] MARY - Washington state - Olympics Peninsula - 1957/1963 I decided to leave far away to the Pacific North West Coast. #49b I have never heard the true story of Fynn. We received some money from lawers to prevent us to tell more about the story. Anyway there is no proof, no trace, easy to burry the matter. Some newspapers tried to reveal some events but without any effects. #50 #51 #52 [Piper Cub] Among the Makah people...Nate, my new family...My mother comes sometimes to visit us, but she feels like a stranger. #53 #54 #55 [Piper Cub] Too many people are coming ... it is no more the native world here. I plan with Nate to move up to the North, more to the West...and with Fynn who is a part of my soul, my dear black friend... #55b #56 #57 #58 [Albatros DIII & P-40 Tomahawk] We will cross the border today, hoping that the Makah Koskimo Hami spirits help us to be invisible... #59 #60 [Logboat & Canadian Ryan float] ... Lidia - Kodiak Island - 1963 "Masha, I have just met a young girl speaking Polish at the airfield, she is just arriving from the South East, from Vancouver Island,..." .... story "something different #5" to be continued one day...

I made a typo mistake !) about Misha & Lidia from soviet to kodiak (Not easy to not confuse years and to be consistent with all the details through the long stories...I notice some mistakes when the post are published but it is done and no more possibilities to edit and correct ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
