Sorry about that chief.
So I'm driving down Great Mills Sat. & see a sign "Birthplace of Dashiell Hammett" What? Yep, saw it again on the second drive by, then looked it up

Yep, his birthday is this week too.

tells a better story, seems he led a heck of a life before being hunted down as a commie in the 50's, hounded by the IRS, dying pennieless of syph & lung cancer but finally ending up in Arlington. Shame there isn't any more reference to this guy in Lex Park, they could use something like this as a tourist draw.
Got me to wondering, are there any other famous people from SOMD that you know of? I'm not talking about the forum losers, real famous people.
