Luvsbway Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Picked up a copy of a magazine called Uncensored at an antique shop yesterday. This is the July 1957 issue. Given the source take the story with a grain of salt, but i found it amusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caewi Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 That's a fantastic story. I wonder how much truth there was to it? Clearly it's been exaggerated but I still wonder if the heart of the story was true. Thanks so much for finding this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Am I the only one so immature as to titter reading the name "Cockshott"? Who says those Ellis Island officials didn't have a sense of humor? (mean-spirited though it could be at times) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
