Apparently I had a great uncle that served time in Alcatraz. Beyond that, I know nothing about him as he was pretty much erased from all family records, and it was so long ago, anybody that knew him has long since passed on. I don't even know his name or what he did, that's how efficiently he was wiped from our family's memory.
I'm sure it created a huge amount of drama for the family at the time, but for me it's just kind of a neat trivia fact that I have no emotional attachment to.
