"Legal Adjuster?" Oh- you mean a Fixer. Or the old timers called it a "Patch."
Frank was always very nice to me, probably because I never got on his wrong side. Last time I saw him was on the 1968 Carson & Barnes when Jack Moore was very ill and Dorey and Frank came over to keep it moving.
Les Brock told me that Jack had heard I was on the lot and wanted to see me, so I went back to the trailer for a chat. Last time I ever saw Jack too. All the great showmen are leaving us.
Guys like Frank Ellis and Jack Turner were kind of a fixture around Jack Moore and the Millers.
