Story told to me by D.R. was that the only person who made any money on the park was Hoxie Tucker's daughter Bettie Irene Siegel who handled the real estate transaction. I do not know if the property was owned by her husband David, or if she only brokered the property. pj

Mattel took a great loss
Feld broke even or better

caught up in a slew of
long neglected projects
that needed my attention

HAPPY NEW YEAR
Thanks Chic and a very Happy New Year to you.
