Hello everybody! Been a while since we posted in this thread and I wanted to provide an update. I located the daughter of one of my father's partners and she related this story:

"As far as my own memories of your parents I would like to tell you that I have fond ones. Warren was always so kind to me and even hired me to work in the bar (although I couldn't tell a wiskey sour from a margurita). I was a complete failure there so they put me in the dining room.

I recall one year we advertised opening the dinnerhouse for a "Thanksgiving Special" serving a wonderful turkey dinner with all the trimmings for one low price. Well, we had so many customers we were overwhelmed! The people were coming in by what seemed like truck loads. Warren put me in charge of seating the customers...in other words, the hostess. Well I had no idea what to do with all these people, having no experience in this field in my entire life (right along with the liquor thing) but he seemed to stay so cool and calm and that in turn calmed me. I recall some of the customers that night even handing me twenty and forty dollars to seat them before others. I proceeded to give Warren that money because I thought it was suppose to go back to the restaurant....I didn't have a clue. He just laughed and said, "no that's yours to keep". Of course I was ecstatic."
