I'm a newbie as an editor/contributor, but I've been interested in Richard Cain for many years. I see that the article is somewhat lacking in citations . . . I have a small pile of articles from the Chicago Tribune that I can mine for information. I'll go back to my storage area for several crime and corruption books at least some of which I am sure have Cain's name in the index. I have Michael Cain's biography on order and it should arrive this week (When I contacted Michael in 1998, he mentioned he was writing a book, and I have been eagerly waiting since that time!). I plan some significant additions and revisions but don't want to step on anyone's toes, so if you feel you have a stake in this article give me a shout. Would love to correspond with any other interested parties, whether on this talk page or by email. - Kent Heiner (talk) 04:48, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Operation 40 member?

Was Richard Cain a member of Operation 40? He may not have been one of the original members, but from what I read Operation 40 had about 80 members at one time, so he may have joined later. Can someone find this info out? I can't seem to find out about it. Thanks.98.224.50.41 (talk) 22:40, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think I answered my own question lol. it's at this link http://johndelanewilliams.blogspot.com/2010/11/who-was-richard-cain-john-delane.html

I guess Cain may have been an unofficial member of Operation 40, not in the formal way. 98.224.50.41 (talk) 23:03, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
