| Little Richard got my friend Marty up on stage and then he wanted me to go up on stage also, but I wouldn't go. Anyhow it was a night to remember, lots of fun. That was Las Vegas in the 1970s. |

| The great Joe Louis world heavyweight champion was working at Caesers Palace in Las Vegas as a Host (greeter) my friend and I got to know him. One night he invited us in to see the opening show of Frank Sinatra. We had ringside tables.

| Hello Little Richard |
 |
| When my wife passed away in 1973 my friend Marty talked me into moving to Las Vegas. He and his wife LaVerne helped me to put my life back together. Marty was like a brother to me. LaVerne and I are still the best of friends. My dear friend Marty passed away in 1985. |
