We had a few delays. Robinson of "The Palms" invited us in there and treated us to all the 4 - 4 beer we could consume and we did our best to clean up some left over ice cream, pop. & buns. There wasn't a big gang wrecking a few of the band and a few others including Geo. Gamble, Al. Faulkner, Skinner and Shorty Patterson.
