On a sad note.......Our friend and Beale Enthusiast Mel Hodgen aka Bold Eagle recently passed away....... Mel a short time ago wrote and published the book "THOMAS JEFFERSON BEALE: HIS TREASURE HIS 3 CODES AND THE KEY" Mel was a former Marine Corsair Pilot, He retired from the Chicago Police Dept. as a Detective Sgt., He was a fun person to talk with about the Beale Mystery, and will be missed...............He was my friend.

I'm sure Mel was a great loss to many people on and off line. We e-mailed back and forth serveral times and he was easy to get to know. Mel was related to the founders of the town where i grew up, Hodgensville, the birthplace of Abe Lincoln. I bought his book on the Beale codes and my conclusion was this mans a genius. We will miss him on the forum.
