前幾天又看了這部電影 public enemies。現在凡是對以真實事件改編的電影，我都會去查一下裏麵涉及到角色的真實背景。這次查了裏麵的FBI agent 的身世。一看很impressive。很感歎一個人的一生居然能有這麽多的成就，很多的角色轉換。
第二段寫到他高中裏做的事。這一看好熟悉呀，原來現在我們孩子在做的真的是美國文化的傳承，參加運動不說，那時的學校就有debate team。
Melvin Horace Purvis II (October 24, 1903 – February 29, 1960) was an FBI agent who was instrumental in capturing bank robbers John Dillinger and Pretty Boy Floyd in 1934. All of this would later overshadow his military career which saw him directly involved with General George Patton, Hermann Göring, and the Nuremberg Trials.
He attended Timmonsville High School where in 1920 he was the yearbook's business manager, historian for his graduating class, on the football team, on the baseball team, was a president of the literary society, on the debate team, and played drums in the school orchestra.[3] He then enrolled in the University of South Carolina and joined the Rho chapter of the Kappa Alpha Order there in 1921.[4] He received his law degree from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 1922.
