FROM UNKNOWN EPISODE

From Belvidere.  38 years old - changed the subject like a bolt of lightning: like from "pass the gravy" to "pass the salt and pepper." Moved to Belvidere from Indianapolis, Ohio, then to New York, Ky., then to Los Angeles, Mich., and then to Cleveland, Minn. - married a woman 37 years old, went into the granulated shoestring business, ran away with his brother's wife, automobile, furniture and clothing by mistake, shot a barber for giving him too close a haircut in the elbow and later died. - compiled by Richard E. Hunton

Real name is "Roger Willoughby Clark," although also seems to have the first name of "Albert."  Had plans to buy all kinds of explosives for July 4th, 1937 but was struck down by tonsilitis and eventually was to have surgery. The episode with him at the hospital shows that he's a tough individual.  Has given Rush an open invitation to be his best man when he marries and he plans on marrying several different ladies in his lifetime. Vic thinks he's sneaky and probably doesn't trust himOnce stood up in front of the neighborhood gang and gave a narcissistic speech about himselfWas struck in the head by a hammer from the telephone man who was up the telephone pole and did not cry until Eunice Raypole had gone down the street and turned the cornerWrote 24 letters to relatives and people he barely knew in hopes of getting additional Christmas presents. While Rush thinks Smelly is bright, Sade disagrees. His first date was with Lillie Speigel and he took her to see a Gloria Golden film. Was invited over to the Gook house to study algebra. His telephone number is #2457-J. Works at his uncle's barbershop every weekend in Towanda - and once, gave Rush an awful haircut. Saw Smoldering Teardrops (a Gloria Golden film) and thought it was rotten. He is older than RussellHas 2 gold teeth.  Shaves every 5th Sunday and carries his razor in his hip pocket.  Was a member of the "Blue Light Sunday School" class. Used to carry bags for the women down at the Union DepotHis grandmother lives in TowandaBroke a watch he wasn't supposed to touch until he was 21 years old; Vic and Sade lent him the funds ($9.00) to get it fixed before his parents found outHad a fight with Rush in Sunday School.
