Pete: Whalen was even before my day.
Remember I was just an infant when Barnes-Sells-Floto with RBBB Features played Nashville. Also Robbins Bros with Clyde Beatty were here that year and I missed them both. Rats!

Aylesworth did a year in the pen as one of the responible bosses of the Hartford fire in 44. Later he would be the first president of our Showfolks of Sarasota. Johnny
