Story about Mr. Brady and Frank smashing windows at First National?
Steve’s mechanic Hogan threw Steve’s desk and chair in dumpster. Owner Jay? Cocoran reported that Hogan was putting Steve’s stuff in dumpster, and Steve said, “I know. I’ll make him get it out.” Hogan and Steve would try to fix machine and scraped shins – all blodoy. Tom Fitz was the foreman.
Michael worked for First National in Maine, but Steve didn’t work there at the time. He did tell Michael who could be counted on to help and who would have it out for him.
Stephen worked with Seiller’s Bakery in Boston.
