FLORENCE HILLIKER, GA11. INTONTGOIXIERY, PHoEBE GLYNN AND BETTY Ross Fitz: The year was 1972. The United States was in an uproar because of the revolutionary Presidential election which was just taking place. Changes were being made in government person- nel all over the country. I started my Air Force career upon leaving high school, and at nineteen I was made a four-star general. I had received word from Bob Streeter, head of Air Force Per- sonnel at Lareau Air Force Base, that I was to be transferred to Paris, France. He informed 1ne that I should contact the North American Van Lines' agent in the vicinity to have my furniture moved. Since I was not very well acquainted with the area, I asked a policemen to direct me to the moving company. To my surprise, the flatfoot', was Francis Potter. He suggested that we stop at Sanborn,s Dairy Barn for lunch. While we were there, Francis told me modestly about the heroic rescue he had performed the week before when he saved Bev Adams from the notorious gangster Lightning,' Fairbanks, who operates under the orders of Sharkyv Aldrich, King of the Underworld. At the counter sat the owner, Toby Sanborn, drinking a glass of .... i'Putnam,s Powdered Milkf, Toby informed us that his doctor, Bob Boy, had put him on a milk diet because of his ulcers. At this point the blonde and beautiful Sally Pratt came to take our orders. On her Way to the kitchen, she stopped to put a quarter in the juke box, and the strange, barbaric rhythm of 'iBiggie,s Boogiei' burst forth. After lunch I left the Dairy Bar and went to a drug store to get some Bromo-Seltzer for my indigestion. The store was owned by Calvin Norton and his wife, the former Anita Tarris. The jerks-I mean the soda-jerks--were Winnie King and Babe, Ploof. I bought the Bromo and headed for the moving company which was on the 790th floor of the Alan H. King Building constructed by the great financier Alan King. I reached my destination a few minutes later and stepped into the elevator, which was operated by Clinton Paquin. He told me that the Cota 81 Fairbanks Baby-Sitting Agency, re- cently established by Bev and Ken, was located in the building. When the elevator stopped, I found myself in front of a gold-plated door. The sign on the door read: North American Van Lines, Inc., Florence Hilliker, Presidentf, Gene Dumas, head janitor in the building, had been polishing the sold-gold doorknob, and he stepped aside to let me in. As I walked into the room, the red-haired secretary, Jeannine Duquette, an- nounced my arrival to the boss. Flossie was expecting me. She was stunning in a gown created by i'Gillespie of Syracusef, the trade-mark used by the famous designer Mary Ellen Gilles- pie. Flossie's private hairdresser, Fay Caswell, was arranging her raven-black hair in the latest style. Fay had changed his name so that he was known simply as Fay: 'iHair-styles by F ayvl Flossie: Before I had a chance to talk to F itzy, the phone rang. It was my manager, Bob Boomhover, who reported that movers Dick L,F.cuyer, Dave Holbrook, and Dick Bombard had just left for Palm Beach with the household goods of Camille DesLauriers who had recently completely a six-week engagement at the Metro- politan Opera House. Boomv told me he was well satisfied with the way the men had managed the shipment. When he hired them he was afraid that their muscular build and brute strength might be a handicap in handling fragile articles. Fitzy explained his business to me, and then we left for Boger Gingras' Anniebelle Gafev where the Norman Manning Quarteti' was performing in the Green Room. After the show, we went back-stage to see the other members of the group -Brenda Benoit, Andy Urquhart and Phil Pelkey -and congratulate them for their wonderful per- formance. They told us that they had just left uCasavantis Casinoii run by Wallace Casavant-in Montreal. There, the trio of Maggie Giroux, Carol Turner, and Ginger Lehmann was appear- ing in an exotic dance number. We left the cafe, and as we stepped onto the sidewalk, the sound of music drew our attention to a parade which
