Arthur Powell was a customer of mine when I was his mailman for many years. We became friends and he loaned me the issue of the Reader's Digest with the account of "the exploit" in it.
I was afraid that I might lose it, but Mrs. Powell laughed and said that he had 50 copies.
The lady in the picture is Mr. Powell's first wife.
Mr. Powell was a big, strong man well into his 70s.
