Today Commentator Rush Limbaugh noted during his monologue that it was Earth Day.  He then went on to note that one of the people who claimed to be a founder of Earth Day was later found to have murdered his ex-girlfriend and then composted her body.  The thing that caught my attention was that he was from Philly and had the family name Einhorn, which made me wonder if he was related to someone my Father used to work with at the then Naval Aviation Supply Depot, in North Philly.  Maybe, as children in the late 1940s or early 1950s our paths crossed.  I doubt it, but it is possible.  Since my Father has been gone for a while now, I can no longer check out these theories.  The passing of parents is a sad thing in many ways.

The other interesting thing about this case is that there were problems involved in extraditing Mr Ira Einhorn from France, where we was sojourning while on the lam from Pennsylvania authorities.  At the time he slipped out of the country his lawyer was a Mr Arlen Spector.  For sure, our many states and our Federal legal system with the death penalty makes extradition from Europe difficult in capital cases.  European nations will not extradite to the US someone who might face the death penalty.
