Autoren-Porträt von Captain Harry 'Mick' Grigsby
‘Mick’ Back WhenMick was born in Glouster, a small coal mining town in southern Ohio and moved from there at the age of five, to Lima, in the northern area of the State.
At the age of six Mick attended a grade school called Faurot, which was a large house donated to the school board by Mr. Faurot, who was a prominent business man in Lima.
Graduating from there, Mick went to Junior and Senior High at Lima Central High, which was a long walk each day, but in those days, he thought nothing of it.

Then after working for a number of gamblers, in their Casinos, Mick finally took over the gambling business in Lima and several adjoining counties.
Back in those days, when the ‘Heat’ came on and the gambling was closed for a period of time, until things cooled down, Mick would go to the Florida Keys for a vacation.
Mick was so enamored with Key Largo that he vowed to move there someday.
