The Ordeal of Dr. Mudd (1980)

Funny thing, I once worked at a job with a co-worker whose last name was Mudd and when I made the comment/joke about where the old saying “My name is Mudd” came from in a historical reference? She then told me that her Great, Great Grandfather was indeed Dr. Mudd and she told me about how her family went through the ordeal of trying to clear the Dr. Mudd and the family name right up until 2005/2006 (I think). It was pretty cool to hear her talk about her family history and the ordeal they went through and how long it took to officially clear Dr. Mudd of any wrong doing by the Government.
