Pikes Peak Library Pictures cont.

2.
ok, a little history here.
My parents had a # of 1.

houses. Picture #1 is the inside
of one of these houses. Now, the
library is saying that Picture #2
is the outside of picture #1.
Wrong, picture #2 belongs to
either the Tutt's or C.L. Tutt's
secretary, Merton W. Bogart
(I'll be doing more on good ole
Merton, he was Tutt's secretary
not my dad's and I have hard copy proof of this)
So, back to the houses. Julie wanted to live at the Broadmoor Hotel, she had friends that lived there. I heard this argument every single day. Her and my dad would argue about it, my dad would tell her "I am not living where I work." She would not let it go, she was like a pit bull. After my dad's death, she had a part of the hotel redone for her apartment. This is what she had wanted for a long time but it wasn't what she thought it would be.
She lived in fear the whole time she was there. Her phone calls were monitered and she only got a very few. This was by order of the Tutts (remember this was the time of calls going thru the hotel switchboard). She would not eat any of the food prepared for her from the hotel kitchen. When it was delivered to her apartment rooms, she would have the waiter eat the food in front of her. She was deathly afraid she would be poisoned.
So much for wanting to live at the hotel.

Pikes Peak Public Library Pictures

Every few months I go to the Pikes
Peak Public Library photos because
they have tons of pictures with wrong dates and names
Now they say they just put down what is written on the photo. So, I guess I can take a photo of my husband and myself, put on the back
Peter Pan and Tinkerbelle with the
date 1776 and thats what they will
print. Do you see where I'm going with this? So, I am going to be printing quite a few pictures and telling the truth about them because the idiots at the library can't.
I've chosen these two as the start. The first picture is: Standing in the car is Jack Dempsey's LITTLE BROTHER, beside him is his little girl. He is shaking hands with C.L. Tutt and the other man next to him on the ground is my dad. The library lists this as Jack Dempsey, C.L. Tutt is listed as unknown but they got my dad right.
The second picture is:left to right, unknown, my Uncle Francis, Jack Dempsey, Mary Marvin (my uncles nurse) and unknown. The library lists this as unknown, my dad, Jack Dempsey, unknown, unknown.
Jack Dempsey was a friend of my father's, in fact my dad tried to start a hotel in Mexico which Jack was going to run. The Mexician government ran Jack and my dad out of the country. I don't know if the hotel is still standing today but it would've been a good one. Jack's little brother was a fighter also. He moved to L.A. when the mob was in contol of it and got hooked on drugs, he died from an overdose. Jack took it very hard.
So, this is the first of many pictures :)
