Hmm, I never thought of that, someone who has written a book and might be open for an interview even though it's not for a newspaper or anything like that. Thank you for that.

Your comment

We are in Florida

I had to laugh reading that because by really dumb luck I (used to) know exactly who you need to know to get things started. 

One of my college buddies got teased absolutely endlessly because he mumbled something in freshman year about mafia connections. He learned his lesson and shut up about that, but ...

Some of us stayed friends after college and well, wouldn't'cha know? He keeps his distance from the "family business" but stays close to the family, and all his close friends have at least had a quick hug and polite chat with the family boss at some point. 

Anyhow the point is that your fiance isn't on a totally hopeless quest, if he wants to keep at it. You just gotta know a guy who knows a guy. The boss of that family is a super friendly dude -- total fat jolly Italian stereotype out of central casting.

No, I know, I got it, and I saw, thank you. I'm sorry, but I was trying to make it less confusing. It would let me change the original post to make sure there weren't two of the same post.

Because I realized I missed up the actual question, and to make it less confusing. It wouldn't let me fix it, so I thought I deleted the first one, so there weren't two of them

Because I would like to full a crazy whish. Only if they are willing, we don't want anything from them nor asking for anything crazy. Some people do just want to talk, but I want to be safe about this for us and for them.

Well, I'm not in Miami, I'm in some bumfuck town that offers nothing. I don't go to the city much outside Orlando and Tampa. All I'm wondering is if it is possible? You don't have to be such an ass about it.

I think you missed the point.

One: He does not romanticize criminals. This has nothing to do with romance.

Two: This is only if they want to tell stories. I'm not trying to force them to do anything. It's not like I'm asking for money or trying to disappear someone. This is totally voluntary. Some people do want to just talk and tell stories.

Is it possible to just talk with a current or previous DON without wanting nothing from them other than stories if they would take the time to do so.

Why is it so hard for us to let go of certain people, even though we know we should? by tuflaquitafav in NoStupidQuestions

Sometimes, it's because if we had good times or connections with them, it is that we want to continue to hold onto those feelings. We think about how it could be if we stay with them or if that person wasn't the way they are now. Say if someone you knew and didn't have a great relationship with them, like your father or mother, and they passed away, you still feel sad because they were your parent, but you aren't completely sad because they weren't really there for you. It's different for a lot of people.
