Can't remember where the thread was

Les, I don't know if there is a word limit on posta. Twice, I have typed this post on Frank Hanley and twice it disappeared when I hit send. I'll try again, this time through word..

Frank "Banjo" Hanley. Has been a jockey, prize fighter, soft shoe dancer, politician and never missed being in the St. Patrisk's Parade. He was ejected phisically by police from Montreal City Hall meetings. In the Depression while working for a coal company he would fill 100-pound bags with eighty pounds of coal. Westmount residents would pay the full amount for their bags while the missing twenty pounds of coal went to the needy. Frank Hanley always maintained that his boys just liked baseball and that was why they brought their bats to work with them at election campaign headquarters. If his opponent looked too good he was usually invited to play baseball. If a man approached Frank needing a job to feed his kids, Frank would call a local trucker for example and tell him, "I know you don't need him but if you hire this man, I'll see that the police let you park your trucks on the street and not bother you." On election days we headed for The Arawana club on Bridge street as soon as the polls closed. The only club Frank owned, the rest were taverns. The password was 'I voted for Frank'. They would ask your name and check the list and usually answer, "Yes, you did. Three times." There must have been Ed Brown's in the point since I lived in Verdun but it always worked. Ed
