K.G.C. Alcatraz connection?

Isn't that cool. Hope they do a documentary on it.

American hero channel has a show called codes and conspiracies. episode 1 covered some of the fort history. Members of K.G.C were supposed to be some of the first prisoners. It was very interesting!

I also have found a fortress from Alcatraz. I have two oil paintings that were painted by John and Clarence Anglin two of the men that escaped in 1962.These paintings were done in order to get the flesh colored paint needed for the dummy heads that were used in the escape.

Alcatraz Escape 1962

Hi I am a true believer in the 1962 escape. John and Clarence are my two uncles and I know for a fact that these two survived. I have all of their letters that they wrote home and I also have two paintings they did while they were at Alcatraz.

Amazing story and history you have there! If they did survive, did they ever make contact with their family? You say "survived", so I assume that they died of old age or some other cause after surviving the escape?
