Jack loves to remember famous people he met. He says he was introduced to Lawrence Welk on evening in Chicago by a Captain Eddy (no relation to us - later Rear Admiral USNR). He was a 19 year old ensign. They had a nice chat. Jane (and the rest of the family) disliked Welk and His music although Jack says that she has recently come to tolerate it on old TV replays.
The Lennon Sisters who were regulars on the Lawrence Welk show have a family compound two blocks from our house in Venice. Big house on a big lot. Their sons formed a local rock band called Venice which plays around a bit - backup for Jackson Browne and such.
