The escape from Alcatraz has always enchanted me just as the Treasure on Oak Island has, and for me, I learned about both about the same time when I was 7-8-9. Having educators in the family had some advantages. We had a library!
When I read the story as a child, I felt that they escaped. No reason, just did. I still feel that way 50+ yrs later.
So over the years since, I've been a sponge for information about the escape in '62. I've seen all the documentaries including the latest which revealed the Photo from Brazil.
Then a few years ago in '12, I took my daughter to San Fran for vacation. Unfortunately, I hadn't checked on tickets for the Rock @6mos waiting, and ended up paying a scalper for 2 tkts....don't even ask! LOL
It was surreal to be in the place that the story began that I knew so well...but I won't bore everyone for a change.........just a cool trip.
So anyway......I'm just curious.....do folks generally believe they made it, or think they croaked in the Bay?
