Now, mid-pandemic, I’ve moved on to Jim Quillen’s Alcatraz From Inside.
Quillen was an inmate at Alcatraz from 1942 to 1952.
On Friday, July 22nd, 1994, at the age of 17, I made my first visit to Alcatraz. After the tour we were herded out through the gift shop where Jim was set up at a table selling copies of his book. I bought a copy. He inscribed it.
For whatever reason, I’ve yet to read his book. Quillen died just four years after I met him, in 1998 at the age of 79. Now, 22 years after his death, and 26 years after I met him, I’ve finally decided to give it a read.
