A person doesn’t have to die to get
to heaven, rather just get on an
Eastern Airplane and go to Miami.
That’s what I did and it was just so
neat that I've got to tell you all
about the place and people I saw.
(Some of you may know some of
these people.)
First, I arrived in Miami, Dec. 30,
and was greeted by my hosts for the
trip, Ann and Joe Dernoga--(My
aunt and uncle). Getting my stuff
together, we went home where my
aunt greeted me officially with two
of the biggest crabs you could ever
imagine.
The next evening was New Year’s
Eve and we spent that at the Miami
Showmen’s Association, of which
my aunt and uncle are members.
(My aunt a past president). It was
there I met Janet and Bob who were
responsible for catching my crabs.
Janet also was the first person I
ever met who could imitate
Geraldine (Flip Wilson's ver-
sion)...She was neat.
Next I was introduced to many
people with whom I later spent
some more time. Tops on the list is
Marie and John Vivona, owners of
the Amusements of America Show.
(You've probably ridden on an A O
F A ride in your life at.a carnival in
Wilkes-Barre or somewhere else in
the country.) Anyway, I must tell
you that Marie and John (Marie's
Mom and Little John) entertained
me at their house (which is neater
than the Hart’s--we’re talking
neat!). I was swimming and then
ended my visit with a fantastic
dinner. Marie and John, thanks!
You're wonderful people.
Down my list of wonderful people,
and yes, they are many and very
wonderful, is Zell and Charlie
Travers, also their son, Bennett,
(who is cute). Zell was super
enought to take me shopping and
treat me (and my aunt) to lunch at
Gracie’s. After meeting Zell, 1 fell
in love with her and her Cadillac.
(Remember, I'm a car lover). A
few nights later (at Turnberry Isle-
-which I'll tell you about later) I
met a girl named Susie who is a
friend of Zell's. I learned a lot about
the younger crowd from Susie and
hopefully I now have a new friend
who will keep in touch. Thanks to
the Travers for their hospitality.
(P.S. Charlie is a football fan and
attended the big Miami game when
I was down south.)
Mary Lou and Irving Zaitshik
reside at the famous Sea Court
Towers on Miami Beach and every-
time I saw Mary Lou, she looked
stunning. If you ever want to see a
well dressed person, Mary Lou is it.
Mary Lou was one of the people who
I had only seen (met) recently on
New Year’s Eve and who made me
feel like I had known the whole
crowd my entire life. Mary Lou and
Irving, my words to you are good
luck on your March cruise! Send me
a post card.
Southern tradition for New Year’s
Day includes black-eyed peas and it
was new to me. With the help of
Tony and Polly Bush, my aunt’s
neighbors, I was able to have my
picture taken in every stance
possible and enjoy the most
heavenly southern food and
tradition ever. I'm waiting for the
photos, Tony. (If you're visiting
your relatives up north, stop by.)
Not going to the beach in January
would be like going to the ski slopes
and not skiing down the hill. Of
course I went to the beach and I
have Gary Bordman, son of Bobbi
and Ernie Bordman to thank for
that. My social activities * coor-
dinator (My Aunt Ann) arranged
for me to spend a sunny day with
Gary at Hollywood Beach and that’s
exactly what I did. The water was
superb and my host, Gary, was the
spend a day at the beach. (Gary
even loves video games--like I said,
it was a perfect vacation). Thank-
ing the Bordman’s is the least I
could do-my reciprocal offer to
them would be come north and let
me take you skiing.
Remember your last trip to New
Jersey (Atlantic City). I'm sure the
million dollar pier strikes a note.
Well, moi spent a Saturday af-
ternoon in the presence (over
lunch) at Jane Tubis’ table. Jane is
the former owner of the pier and is
truly a lovely person. I'm telling
you guys heaven couldn’t be better.
A last roundup of some of the
people I met. If I exclude anyone
it’s not because I didn’t like you, but
rather I was overwhelmed with 12
wonderful days of Florida and a
very short memory capacity. (It’s
that southern air that makes me
forget.) Anyway, Jeanne, Mae,
Florence, Rosita, Judy, Belle and
Eileen, - Agnes, Elsie, Lill, Mae
McKee, Nova and Louis Dell. I love
mention that I spent one evening at
the one and only Turnberry Isle,
home of all the famous people who
are living in the condominiums in
Florida. The place is so exclusive
my aunt had a fit when I went
wandering (more like snooping)
around the place. I'm still out of
sorts from the new Continentals and
Cadillacs I was in and the places
and people I met. I hope they all
realize how impressive they were
and that I'm definitely going to try
to coordinate another trip down
South. Meanwhile, hand me the
snow shovel. All jokes aside it’s
really snowing outside.
