Althoff's Bears #4


The old Arena in Cleveland was in a tough part of town and the bear truck was parked outside in an alley. Two citizens were hiding under the truck with plans of mugging Mr. Althoff when he came to get the bears.
Bad mistake. One of the rare cases when the perpetrators run to the police for protection.

Mr Lee, that was a great story. I remember the days when a man's word meant something. Does that still exist anymore? I am afraid that we have lawyer-ed the word 'integrity' out of our society. There's no folk like 'Showfolk.'

Yes, Jacki was nephew of Carl and Elfi, his father being Rudi Althoff, brother of the two.
This branch of the family is a totally different sode of the Franz, Carola, Adolf Althoff side.

Thanks for the kind words about my dad, he could be arrogant, but did have a huge heart, especially for hard working people like yourself! :)
