'As a child, Mitchum was known as a prankster, often involved in fistfights and mischief. When he was 12, his mother sent him to live with her parents in
Felton, Delaware; the boy was promptly
expelled from middle school for
scuffling with the principal. A year later, in 1930, he moved in with his older sister Annette, in New York's
Hell's Kitchen. After being expelled from Haaren High School, he left his sister and traveled throughout the country, hopping on railroad cars, taking a number of jobs, including
ditch-digging for the
Civilian Conservation Corps and
professional boxing. At age 14 in Savannah, Georgia, he said he was arrested for vagrancy and put on a local chain gang.' wiki.
meh, no problem. 12 years in Bport is more than enuf time to learn how it be.
i wonder if he and julius boros were pals? prolly boxed a bit at the 'Pyramid Mosque' roller arena when they weren't skating.
