    One of the reasons I live a life of boring mediocrity is so that, if I have a reason to just disappear, very few people would notice.

    That's hilarious how the marshall is taking credit for solving the mystery when the guy admitted it all on his deathbed.

    Great find. Now I'll have to listen to that podcast. One of the teasers has my attention as a golfer:

    Tom was a scratch golfer. Good enough he could have gone pro. So why didn't he?

    The world is full of scratch golfers who couldn't play as pros. But he had the money to keep the dream alive for as long as he wanted.

    I listened to the podcast series a while back.

    Like most podcasts, it is too much filler.

    I rolled my eyes at his “semi pro” golf exploits and turning down the tour. Being a scratch likely gets you in the top flight of the Club Championship. There’s no story about this guy stacking up state am/open wins.

    I found the podcast disappointing. I think they had the daughter voiced by an actress, that didn’t work very well to my ear.

    His total haul in 1969 was $250K, and that was likely kept in a 1969 account that didn't draw much attention (or interest). Unless it was kept in a briefcase where he paid cash every so often.

    Anyone with a 401K t0day is assumed to approach that number when all is said and done.
