Benjamin "Spoons" Butler?

Butler's knickname was also"the Beast" .

I was at a reenactment of the battle of 2nd Manassas,

My ggguncle Pvt. Benjamin Thomason with the 35th Ga.Co.G(Walton Sharpshooters) was KIA there the first time around. Here in Blount County,Alabama,a re-enactment group re-enacts the Forrest-Streight skirmishes through Blountsville,Royal every May.

yes small world indeed! I lived on Miller Street, it only ran from second to Jeff with no first street. I worked at a salvage yard in Rouge for many years.
I really did not have a come back for him about the yankee thing, I took it as a joke for a long time from everyone, but this one time he was serious. I realized I was in his home state and by moving there, I guess I was going to hear that from time to time. Oh, he carried a Raven 25 in his lunch pal wrapped up with his napkins.

I grew up on Lindbergh in the North end. I can't believe you just called Biddle Ave. Jefferson! lol. There's a valid historical reason streets' name change in Wyandotte, haha!

That dude sounds like a workplace psycho waiting to happen. You're right, it's best to avoid the nuts if you can.
