Just want to put to rest about a story thats circulating about a dude called Billy Barton He never got stabbed with BUTCH from Stlouis and Altgeld. Its a lie. How do i know? I am Butch and My Story is true ask the Gangsters who they
Stabbed that day Back in 1979. I was alone! Lilmunchkin, Riisa, Red, Bugeye, Link,Ask them they know the truth. billy Barton AKA Rumple was never a true Lord. true Lords dont lie dont need to make up storys. RIP KATO RIP CAPPY G/L
Forever

I hope that more Stlouis and Altgeld Gaylords speak out about our time and what we
accomplished. from 1977 to the early 1980s we were one of the biggest sets around joned by alot of lawndale showing us the way we put many enemies to rest. Long live the Gaylord nation. -butcher

I LIKE TO SAY THE LAST 2 MONTH HAVE BEEN VERY INTERESTING. I HAVE SEEN MANY NEW
GAYLORDS AND SOME 1980 GAYLORDS FROM ALL OVER CHICAGO.I KNOW THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN
MUCH RESPONSE FROM THE 1970 GAYLORDS FROM LAWNDALE, BUT I 'AM GLAD THAT SOME ARE NOW CONTACTING OUR SITE.I HOPE THIS BOOK PARTY WILL BE A SUCESS, BUT IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE ALL THE OLD LAWNDALE GAYLORDS THERE.

Does anyone remember the Lane Tech Drinking Team or The Rowdies? The LTDT had a few Gaylords.C- Notes, and some Jousters in it when the Stone Greasers were around.I remember the Rowdies were cmposed of some Popes. tHESE WERE AROUND 78-85 iTHINK.

ANYBODY OUT THERE THAT WENT TO LANE TECH FROM 1976 TO 1980.WELL,I DID AND I JUST WANT YOU TO THINK REAL HARD. I WOULD SAY THE SCHOOL HAD ABOUT FIVE THOUSAND MAYBE. BUT IF YOU REMEMBER,THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO WORE
THEIR SWEATERS PROUD WERE THE GAYLORDS AND A COUPLE OF KINGS.AND THATS BECAUSE THE GAYLORDS AND KINGS AT
THAT TIME IN THAT SCHOOL RESPECTED EACH OTHER.I DON'T EVER REMEMBER SEEING ANOTHER SWEATER WORN IN THE FOUR YEARS I WAS THERE.UNLESS THERE WAS NOT ONE
OTHER CLUB BEING REPRESENTED IN THE WHOLE DAMN
SCHOOL.I DON'T THINK SO.ST LOUIS AND ALTGELD GL

This message goes out to the so called author of, "My Bloody Life," the Latin King story. I'm guessing that with two books written by you related to a Chicago gang, and with a web page, that you are on the computer often. You probably check your book sale progress over the computer and/or check out message boards to see what others are saying about your book. I am hoping by chance that you come across this message posted by me. Your book has many rumors circulating about. The rumors basically coincide with one general idea. This idea is that the story is a bunch of lies intertwined with facts. Those facts being nothing that you had a part in. For instance, you stated in your book that a Chi West gang member threw a girl in front of bullet meant for him. After checking with ex high ranking members of the Chi West, it was found that this story was false. Also, the story of three Moffat and Campbell Gaylords getting destroyed, seems to be false. Only one Moffat and Campbell Gaylord was murdered by Latin Kings and his name was Harpo. Your story on the three Gaylords may be generated or developed from the real Harpo incident but if its is, it sounds embellished. I would also like to state that I found the story of the Gaylords attacking innocent Puerto Ricans by a park a little peculiar. If you have any factual evidence to prove this story and any of the other stories, why dont you post them on your site. As a matter of fact, I challenge you to come out with a statement or any evidence for viewing to give your book credibility. It is also rumor that your book was written by a female, the same educated female that you make lots of references to in your second book. Her character comes off as educated and also a racist, which is the general idea your second book seems to revolve around. The book also has two much touchy feelings like a woman wrote it. I personally believe a woman did write this book and the other, hence the common nic name and totally false author name. In closing, I would additionally like to add that I heard that the Latin Kings Nation has denounced this book, which I got from a pretty reliable source.

WICKED OR LIL WICKED THEY WERE BOTH FROM SAYRE PARK ALMIGHTY GAY LORDS 4 LIFE 712 MAKE YOUR HEAD SWELL!

I REMEMBER PARTYING WITH SOME GAYLORDS FROM S/A BRADLY BEING ONE OF THEM WHAT A COOL DUDE HE WAS I LATER TURNED ROYAL C/P/W AND THEN F/C AND WAS ONE OF THE FOUNDING ROYALS OF IRVING AND BERNARD I HAVE TO ASK MY SELF WHAT DID WE FIGHT ABOUT I KNOW

WANTED TO KILL OR HURT ANY ONE INTELL I JOINED THE ROYALS I FELT THE G/L WERE SOME COOL BROS I WAS FIRST LOCKED UP AT 13TEEN AND TO MANY TIMES TO REMEBER AFTER THAT ALMOST BEAT TO DEATH TWICE OVERDOSED ONES ALL THAT FOR WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPERTUNITY TO SAY IAM SORRY FOR ANY HURT I DID ON ANY G/L OR ANY OTHER GANG MEMBER AND THE PAIN I BROUGHT TO THER FAMILYS IAM NOT TRYING TO STAND ON A SOAP BOX BUT IF YOUR ALIVE AND A GANG MEMBER THREW THE 80,S 90.S YOU SHOULD BELEAVE IN
SOMETHING GREATER THEN YOUR SELF MOST OF THE OLD SCHOOL BANGERS ARE DEAD OR IN JAIL , HOOKED ON DRUGS TEACH YOUR YOUNG OR THE STREETS WILL!
