My son Simon does research for a living. He turned up the salacious 1884 info about Minnie Katzenberger and her father's unlucky 1904 duel with a rival suitor. Simon sent this intriguing story today. "I found this April 1, 1898 C-J article about a “C. Katzenberger” (not sure if he’s family, but it’s certainly possible). He was known for carrying around a much-coveted mockingbird that sang songs for people. Eventually he traded it to a grocer at Rubel & Breckinridge for a barrel of flour. He told the grocer exactly where to hang the cage. Then one day he returned, stole the bird, and traded it to a blacksmith for two sledgehammers. Cops arrested him for grand larceny. Gotta respect the grift,

My homely, undeveloped, uneducated 17-year-old great grandmother was nearly WAP-en-ized by local toughs in 1884
Ludwina “Minnie” Katzenberger was my great grandmother on my dad's side. In 1884, a few women tried to pull her into working at a house of ill repute when she was 17 but she “would not permit” when a man tried to “take liberties” with her. The Courier Journal article posted below states that Minnie's father testified against the other women and the men at the prostitution house. It sounds as if he wasn’t exactly sure how old his daughter really was at the time. The reporter described my sweet great grandmother as “rather homely, undeveloped, and uneducated.” Both father and daughter Katzenberger were from Sandberg, Bavaria so that means they moved to America sometime after her birth in

Who’s riding shotgun next to Joe Biden? Is it AOC or Pelosi?
I spoke with @RepJohnYarmuth on the transition, stimulus, and, if @JoeBiden & @KamalaHarris are in the driver's seat for @TheDemocrats, who's riding shotgun?

Dr. Anthony Fauci joined me on @840WHAS to discuss safely attending the @KentuckyDerby, fast-tracking a vaccine, football challenges, getting business back on track, and how to maneuver in an anti-authority & anti-science culture. 🎙 audio here: https://t.co/kb2nwYFrBP #COVID19 pic.twitter.com/F3lA8g7nXr — Terry Meiners (@terrymeiners) August 7, 2020 I had a nice radio chat with America's top infectious disease researcher Dr. Anthony Fauci. We discussed how to safely attend the Kentucky Derby during the coronavirus pandemic. We also dug into the challenges facing leaders during an anti-authority and anti-science period in our culture. And what about football! The White House staff gave me 7 minutes with Dr. Fauci so we crammed as much info in as we could. America's 😷 top health official Dr. Anthony
