That sounds great, kids. One thing I am curious about: Is Trader Vic's celebrating the birthday themselves in any form? If not, it must be due to the old bastard himself:

When (in Palm Springs) Peter Seeley announced the opening of a Trader Vic's in SF and I interjected "at Cosmo Place?", he sorta mumbled something like "no need to return to the scene of past horrors" (or something like that), reminding me that when researching and going through the closed Cosmo Place with C.O. Hans Richter he had pointed out the upstairs office and reminisced how it was always frightening to be called up there.

Quite possibly, both family and TV veterans are glad the despotic old bastard is six feet under...
Hey, let's drink to that!
