Frequent Flyer Magazine(December 2004)

Mentions story on best hotels and bars in Chicago with a little feature on Al.

As you now know my passion for this subject started in 1987.I had seen the old black and white untouchables shows with awe as a kid.When a remake movie was out with Robert DeNiro, I went to my local movie theater and was awestruck again.So much so that I went to the local library and fell in love with Chicago and it's colorful characters that made up the 20's and 30's.

Since then I have amassed items and info relating to or belonging to that period.

I had first appeared on APB NEWS for a feature they did on crime collectors.From there that story was picked up by my local newspaper here in Montreal,Quebec.I was in a full page story in that newspaper in Sept of 2000.

Newspaper story in Le Journal de Montreal

From this the televison stations called up and pitched their stories for a story.Of two chosen, I declined one and accepted the other who had a more tasteful approach.I appeared on Global t.v. on a feature called Friends and Neighbours.This show was hosted by Heather Hiscox.

With Anchorwoman Heather Hiscox from Global Television ( now with CBC News).

Interestingly enough, Heather also appeared in various Hollywood movies playing news reporters / anchors.

She also won the Miss Teen Canada Pageant in 1981. It was a thrill for me to meet her and an honor for me to be interviewed by such a professional.

Global T.V. Al Capone interview

My website also played a role in spreading this hobby to others.Web designer /developer Diane Tremblay saw my site and asked to demonstrate her web talents by transforming my original site on another and www.alcaponemusem.com was born.She's the real genious behind that one.

We both did an interview for Court T.V.

I then attended the Chicago gangster convention in Sept. 2004 hosted by my dear friend Harry Lawrence.

There i made a brief appearance on Fox t.v. channel for coverage on the Chicago convention.

With the Sopranos Joe Gannascoli

With the Sopranos John Fiore.

With great lady Antoinette Giancana. Her father was Chicago mob boss Sam "Momo" Giancana

At the convention I had a meeting with producer Mr. David Moore Huntley.His production company (Moore Huntley productions) in association with the History Channel, made the documentary in which I was featured throughout. Mr. Huntley and his crew did a fantastic job.They had done other great documentaries such as one called Alaska: Big America that recently won a 2005 Silver Telly award for outstanding History & Culture programming.

They also produced science documentaries with Alan Alda for PBS.

History channel documentary called Home and Bunker.It revists Al's haunts and homes.

Pause during filming in Alcatraz prison yard.

Home and Bunker/Al Capone screen shot from inside the famous Green Mill

In Als' old kitchen at 7244 Prairie Avenue (Home and Bunker).

Film crew and producer David Huntley with yours truly.

Since then I have also learned alot from fellow buffs,actual gangster family members and accomplished authors and historians.

I thank them also for bringing me here.I have also had the opportunity to lend a hand or advice to friends and fellow authors and gangbuffs.

Many have given me credit in their books and publications,videos.For this gesture I am touched and thankful.
