From a reader named Chris Smith in WASTE on FB.

S0... Read GR in paperback way back in the mid-70s. Took maybe 4 or 5
nights when I worked at an in-patient psych unit...The Kenosha Kid was
plain as day to me--Orson grew from Don Ameche to Oliver Hardy, etc. It was
obvious to me but but but I've noted several head shakers over the decades
not like such stuff, etc. Okay, a bit more research and I finally
identified the true, real Kenosha Kid: Jimmie Bridges. Wayyy back in
November 1942. There it is.
