Carl, I'm going to add another Trivia question onto your post. How did Al Capone get his scar on his face?

[Treestand]

Easy Eddie was Big Al Mouth Peace back when...Butch O'Hare was Eddie son and a WWII Ace and they named the Air Port after him.
As for the scar on Big Al face it happen in a bar-fight in NYC.

Tree is right on about Butch O'Hare's father having been Al Capone's lawyer.
I heard that the scar was applied by the brother of some girl Big Al had dishonored.

[Carl Huber]

Tree and 99 are spot on. The only thing I would add is Butch traded his records on Capone. In order to get a recomandation for his son to Annapolis. Butch was asasinated the very day Capone was released from prison on a medical.

Capone was a bouncer in Brooklyn NY at a night club owned by a mob boss. He kept staring at a young lady, then he walked over to her and said "You have a nice a$$". She told her Brother who was there. He walked over to Capone and they started to argue. A fight started and the Brother pulled out a knife and made the famous scar.
Treestand and Explorer you’re both correct.

So... what happened to the brother after cutting up Capone?

[Treestand]

OlKrusty: Frank Yeal and Al Capone had a Sit-down with the Mob Heads,That Al was wrong in doing what he did and not to Wack the Guy who cut-him.Forgetaboutit!!

Now that you have the means. What dubious distinction did Wilbur "Mad Dog" Underhill hold?

[99explorer]

He was known as the "lovers' lane bandit" (among other things).

[Gary Devine]

Big Al told everybody later in his life, that he got his scar in the war, fighting in hand to hand combat.
