,422 a,,4f4.'4Q ' While on vacation in the spring of 1959 I visited Alex Fraser, the Editor-in-Chief of the New York Times. He asked me to go to the Madison Square Gardens with him to see Jim Kochy's Death Dodgers. With us were the Times' star reporters, Jo Mazzatenta and Bud Van Over. At the Gardens I found that Bill Hawes, Paul Wetzig, and Tom Maltby were the best drivers. They always were good at wrecking cars. Bert Covell did some daredevil tricks on his motorcycle. The next morning I went to the airport to continue on my vacation and I met Andy Pancak, the new owner of Kauvars. He said that he was going to the grand opening of Pee Wee Fieatta's Huge Oaks Nite Club on route 307 and invited me to go with him. Arriving in Cleveland we met Jim Hattery, manager of the Cleveland Airport, who was also going to Pee Wee's . We arrived at Huge Oaks just in time for the floor show and were greeted by Pee Wee and his wife, Norma, the former Miss Pasqualone. Janet Watson, Sut Bartlett, Judy Orkin and Carol Blough were starred in the floor show. After the show, I attempted to get into the back room and found that Russell Clutter was employed as bouncer. After a few kind words he recognized me and let me in. Jim Linhart and Lee DePuy were cashiers. I met Jacky Barrett and her husband, Casey , Clyde Fobes, the head announcer for NBC, and Bill Hiller and his wife, the former Betty Davis. Returning to the dining room I heard the Blue Boys, Don Stewart, Ed Cox, and Lyle Unsinder- sing Laughing Sonata,' 'the hit tune written by Doris Oberg. They were accom- panied by Lyle Leslie at the piano. Decidng to stay for the nght, I asked Pee Wee if he could suggest a place to sleep. He sent me to Bertha Neuman's boarding house. The next day I visited G. H. S. and found that Eleanor Spinelli had replaced Mrs. Cook as school secretary. Stella Bartlett was teaching biology. In the afternoon Lila Fry and her Mountain Girls, Laverne Evans, Donna Seeley, and Carol Patrick, put on an assembly. They are touring the country giving performances. As I was leaving I met Water Commissioner Don Gleason who was going to test the school water. In the eevning I went to Sheds Theater and saw Wilma Thiel in Lovers Paradise. In the newsreel were pictures of Beverly PucIder's being crowned Miss America. Richard Gillette had iust become manager of the theater. The next morning in the paper I read that Dryden Reno and David Moeller, scientists for General Electric at Nela Park, had invented a perpetual motion machine. I decided to visit them so I took a train to Cleveland. I continued to read the paper on the train and saw that Ronald Janson and Bob Wiclmer, fight managers, had announced that Buster Starkey and Big Miff Ramsey would fight for the world's championship in two weeks. I also read that the Cleveland Indians, now being managed by Dave Dean, were well under way with spring training. Ronnie Castelli would be playing another year as center fielder, and Art Schupska as catcher. When I arrived at Nela Park I was met by Margie Beswick, the telephone operator, and she sent me to Mary Zito, a secretary at the luboratory. She told me where I could find them. They were about to go to a fashion show with their wives. They asked me to go with them so that they wouIdn't be so bored. Many of the designs in the show were by Joanne Lister and Ellen Bates. Ruth Evans and Ruth Jeppe were models. After the show we went to Hamilton Hills, the estate of Anita Hamilton, who had iust written a cook book. Louise DeAngeIis and Jeannette Deloria were getting their copies autographed. They said that they had good use for them. I mentioned that I had I0 catch C1 plone io continue my vacation and Anita called her chouffer to drive me to the airport. You can imagine my surprise when I found that it was Ray Atwood. The car was a Buick and had lust been purchased from Jack Butler, the Cleveland dealer for Buicks. At the airport I boarded my plane and was off again.
