Fall Dinner Meeting

Boutwell's Landing - Oak Park Heights, MN

Join us at Boutwell's Landing on Thursday, September 17, 2009 as we welcome Paul Maccabee, author of John Dillinger Slept Here, to speak at our fall dinner meeting.

Crime historian Paul Maccabee's thrilling book is based on more than 100,000 pages of FBI files and wiretaps, prison and police records, and mob confessions. Interviews with 250 crime victims, policemen, gun molls, and family members of criminals bring these public enemies to life. Maccabee takes you inside the bank robberies, gangland assassinations, and police intrigue of St. Paul's 1920s and 1930s gangster era. You'll also find Crooks' Tour maps and more than 130 rare FBI, police, and family photographs.

Maccabee has appeared in three National A & E Cable TV Specials, "John Dillinger," "Ma Barker: Crime Family Values," and "Babyface Nelson: Rebel With a Gun."

The evening will begin with a social hour from 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. Dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m. There will be a short business meeting at 7:30 p.m. and Paul Maccabee's presentation will begin at around 8:00 p.m.
