“Birthday Greetings” – “Favorite Customers”

The PHOTO of  “LEE and ME” standing in front of the “Dobbs House Snack Bar” – – (that was yesterday’s post)—- well that “PHOTO”  was taken by the man sitting at he table below – –  on the right…  with the white napkin on his knee… “Mr. O.L. Dick”  — 

These friends  and customers… of ours from the “Snack Barr” also like going to the “Race Track” – – you will see  several  PHOTOS of them – – that is when I would  also go with them …  and take a  picture or two – – as I do not bet – – my bets are strictly donations – – as I believe in just buying  that which – –  I would  need  – – not trying to make lots of money being “LUCKY” – – as I am not on the “LUCKY” side of the street… when it comes to winning.

This was a  very  and extra special  “treat out night”  for everyone at this table…  as I believe some of the friends sitting at this table did “WIN”  and “BIG” at the “RACE TRACK” – – and all of us as guests of  “Mr. O.L. Dick”  sitting here  had  one  terrific night – – very good food – – and with  these “Waiters” – – the one  was an “Irish Cop” in the “entertainment”  part of the show – – this was one of the most enjoyable occasions that we all had…   and all together.

It is really something special when customers find their way to your restaurant – – and  they come all the while that they are staying in Florida  for the “WINTER” season   – – and  even for  the years following – – they still come back. When you make “FRIENDS” – – it is good to know that they never forget you – – and that you all  will share  some special times  together – – at all of the exciting attractions – – available in Florida.

This is the COVER of the “PHOTO”  folder – – just in case anyone  – – would want to stop there and see what is on today’s…  menu???  This  “PHOTO”  was taken  on April 8, 1961 – – that is  “ONE”  date to write down in the memory book – – if ever there was a  very special day – – to follow up…  “this memory”  with???

And… just so you the reader will know… “WHO” is sitting at this table – – this is the list of people as they wrote  their names… on the inside of the cover – – – and of course this was only “56 years”…  ago.

 “Lee and ME”  – – are sitting  at the back  – – and…  on the right side of the table – –   everyone has said and  thinks that “LEE” … also looks like an “IRISH COP” – – too – – not knowing that he is a “retired”   Saint Louis Detective!

“Extra special  – BIRTHDAY GREETINGS – – to where ever you are –  – “LEE” – – – on  the other side of the  “RAIN-BOW” – –  “I… find… you… – – someday.”    DV
