Reminds me of move out night when Charly Baumann would invite friends over to his state room.
After the elephants were loaded my wife and I would often drop in, he lived just one car up from us in the Hollywood Hills section.
Araceli was a wonderful hostess and I might add, alcoholic beverages were occasionally served.
It was called "Beverly Hills"
The last car was Hickory Creek
Araceli & Charly had the back
end of the next car with Tito
in the front half & your tribe
had the back two thirds next
to Bobby Johnsen in the front
I had opportunity to travel in
your stateroom a few times when
it was between occupants
The Woodcock entry door had no
vestibule & it utilized Tito's
Only became a problem if they
uncoupled between those cars
That 1st step was a bitch
(I don't recall that happening)
With enough foreign calendars
at hand they never ran out of
"occasions"
Small world and show folks always have something to talk about.
We moved to Sarasota 5 years ago.
The lovely Mrs. Naughton had an appointment at the hair dresser who was working on a lady who looked familiar.
The customer looked like Araceli, I thought.
The hair dresser (a retired performer) introduced us and even though I only met Araceli years ago for about 5 minutes we chatted for at least 20 minutes.
I have learned to add extra time for errands because you always run into someone from show business, especially during the winter.
Previous occupants included the
Frank Perry clan & the Bale's
Armando Gaona was able to use
it as a photographic "darkroom"
on various occasions (uh huh)
The 2nd best joint on the train
