  1. re:5.16 John and Carrie Carney. John Carney was Art Carney's nephew, I sat with Art Carney at their wedding. John wrote and sang the original Poland Spring commercial "coming to you straight from Maine". Their son was Spiderman on Broadway.

    The "Free Beer" referred to on 7.25 was a trio of guys from MacDougal street. Their one hit on three albums was "Coupe de Ville".

    Susan Bader used to work for me.

  2. Thanks Peter! I've over looked this comment…sorry. I've been looking for a way to reach you because I think there are photos of yours I'd like to use for my project.
