I did not know that, and I was once part of a college trivia team called Ed Gein's Upholstery. We even had bowling shorts made. I know for a fact (because I remember it) that he died at Mendota State Hospital (which wasn't really a hospital but rather a looney bin). Us kids used to tease each other by saying things like "You belong in Mendota" which was code for you're crazy.

That's not Dillinger? Who, by the way, made Johnny Wad look small.

ReplyDeleteAnd to think I could have spent my entire life knowing absolutely nothing about this particular native Wisconsin son.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Trooper. I have led too sheltered an existence.

ReplyDeleteI wonder if he wore his celebrated "nipple belt" when he played second base.
