Welcome to the Cabinet of Curiosity's.

People who strive for success often juggle multiple jobs and hobbies, hoping for their

big break.

For Claude, keeping multiple balls in the air was what brought him that success in

the first place.

Claude was born in Darby, Pennsylvania in 1880.

His father had served in the Civil War before settling down to manage a hotel part-time,

He also had a short fuse, especially when it came to his son.

It got so bad between the two of them that Claude often ran away to live with relatives,

but he always came back.

When he was 12, Claude started working odd jobs around Pennsylvania.
