Dear Sir,
I write to Owen Kilbane from time to time and he referred me to your website. I was astounded to learn so much about the brothers that never came out in correspondence, primarily their strong Irish affiliation and their history as young men. Quite fascinating; a nice job on your part! Thank you!
I urge you to update the website with the depressing news that the brothers were flopped again. The Ohio Parole Board is SO out of control, keeping these older, Old-Law prisoners longer and longer. If released now, many of them could still find some productive work, support themselves, earn a few SS credits, and pay taxes. Kept longer, they are more likely to develop chronic medical problems, so when they are released they will need medical assistance or a nursing home--at taxpayer expense. The parole board doesn't seem to ever look at those ramifications.
