It Was a Scary Night in Boone

     BREAKING NEWS......The Kelley's hosted some 30 Halloween costumed kiddies at our new residence Tuesday evening. That compares to about 100 we had at our Aldrich address a year ago. No, that isn't the reason we moved!!

     Because of the New York tragedy, let's continue with this "light" beginning.
     Jim Harken, BHS-91, was "moved" by our mention last edition of the California law firm of Payne and Fears. He wrote, "when I worked in Arizona, we always talked about the firm of Dewey, Cheatum and Howe. When I was a little kid, on Bugs Bunny, there was a lawyer named A.Shyster from Walla Walla,Washington. He always said it with a really funny lilt to his voice and, as a youngster, I always repeated it cause it was fun to say. Fast forward 25 years and a really good friend of mine got married in Walla Walla and I was able to spend some time there. I looked for the Shyster firm but none was to be had. Fun memories! Hope all is well in good old Boonetown."

     Back to quiz info.
     Tom Matt recalls, "I remember Danny's on North Story Street very well. The older kids at Sacred Heart school would take their sack lunches in there at noon, buy a dime coke and eat in a booth. Mr and Mrs Canakes loved to have the kids in there. Jim Douroumis had a wonderful daughter, Mrs. Frances Stumbo. She came to help her dad in the cafe after her family was raised. Jim was a brother to George and together, in the early 40's, they operated the "Candy Kitchen" on the south side of the interurban tracks right across from the depot and next to Wilson's Tavern. The brothers split up and Jim opened his Coney Island on Ninth Street while George opened the "Washington Tavern" or later,"George's" on old Highway 30 and Delaware Street. George married Margaret Wilson and they had three children, Patricia, Paul and Joellen. Pat is now Mrs Tom Judge, BSH-60."

     John Kueck, BHS-61, wrote, "when I think of the Washington Tavern, I think of a place near the old interurban offices on North Story Street, east side. Was there also a Short Stop in Boone? I walked by those northside taverns daily with my paper route and occasionally went inside to sell papers if I had extras. Given that, it is hard to recall their names. Keep up  the great work."

     Quizmaster Tony Crandell, BHS-59, says,"there were two well-known hair care product companies in the 1950's that got started in Boone. What were their names and where did they start up?
     Holden Stradlater added, "I guess my quiz offering would be,"what was the phone number for the Boone News Republican before dial phones? Keep up the great work Mo."

     Which type of person are you? It is said that there are two types of people.......those who come into  a room and say, "Well, here I am," and those who come in and say, "Ah, there you are."
