Hey Dee,
Thanks for the update on Sonny. He's got to be in his 80's by now. He's a great guy and most interesting. His real name is Marvin Schlosberg -- not sure of the spelling -- and was an Army Aircorps bomber pilot in World War II. He was shot down and spent time in a Nazi POW camp -- not a pleasant place for a Jewish man. He used to own an airplane with Jimmy and Johnny Butsicaris (Sp?), the owners of the Lindell A.C. bar in downtown Detroit. Don't know if it's still there or not.
You're right, too, about Joe and MDA. When I was there, he was doing almost 400 personal appearances a year on behalf of MDA. He actually separated his shoulder at an MDA softball game one night between the early and late newscasts. I had to tie his tie for him that evening.
Finally, Alpha Gam would love my neice, but being from a family with a single mom and a dad -- well, I'd better not even go there -- she's on a wing and a prayer and whatever scholarships she can find. No money for a GLO, I'm afraid. She is a great kid, and also very good looking, though, as well as smart.
