Patrick:

One of my friends, when I 'fessed up to what I did yesterday, said I should check into a convent and take a vow of silence for the next month to teach me a lesson. I told him I would just quietly disengage from this thread and try not to stick my other foot into my mouth, thinking there was no more room.

However, you have tempted me far too much.

If you are serious about your question and aren't teasing me, go to:

Click on "Si Tanner"

Also, click on "Who Killed Soapy?"

It's all part of the research for my next non-fiction book, a biography on Josiah M. "Si" Tanner, the man who rounded up Soapy Smith's gang.
