He was a combat veteran, USMC. Just as Sven relates in BOT, he was one of the returning vets that formed the 50-60's craze. When he died I had a HUGE garage sale. One item was his Mr Bali Hai mug. It went for $5 really fast to a dealer. A few months later I started collecting my mugs. Had to get a replacement Mr Bali Hai, ha ha. My sister lives in the house now, I went back through an old box of his lp's. Of course, a pristine copy of Denny's "Quiet Village" was right there. Dad would make this "Artillery Punch", dry ice, paramedics' phone number neaby...the cocktail age, when bridge games were formed to give a respectable edge to a drink-fest. midnite
