Bob Lyon's successful presentation on Jeff Smith's Parlor restoration project.

Top and bottom dice swindle

ast month I told you about historian Bob Lyon's presentation he planned to give on the Jeff Smith's Parlor restoration project in Anchorage, Alaska for the Alaska Professional Communicators. Bob said the presentation

"went off rather well, and I may get two or three interviews as a result--two radio and one print! Most people had heard of Soapy and several knew how he got that nickname."

      Congratulation bob, on a job well done. Beside being professional, Bob has a lot of enthusiasm that shows in his correspondences with me. Obviously that same enthusiasm was evident in his talk. I wish I could have been there to listen to him. Naturally, this surely helps Soapy become a more well known character to the world, and for that, along with all his help and contributions, the family and Friends of Bad Man Soapy Smith thanks Bob for everything he has done thus far.

"With a pistol in his pocket and a rifle in his hands,
Soapy went alone to fight the vigilante band.
To shoot a few and chase the rest into the icy bay,
They’d wish they’d never messed with Soapy Smith of old Skagway."

―Ed Parrish
