Description

In Dayton, Ohio, they still say his name. Stuart "Buggs" Norman — the man the internet calls "Mr. Ohio." Born in 1940, two months after DeSoto Bass Courts opened on the West Side. In ninth grade his father died, and he pulled coal off moving trains to heat the house. Decades later: penthouses, ringside seats at the Tyson fights, and a '55 Chevy drag car his family says made the cover of a national racing magazine. Search the court records, though, and you find nothing. No case. No headline. Just an obituary with three names on it, and a son telling the story the government never did.
