I pulled over and parked in a bus zone to alert her, but by the time I got to the sidewalk she was turning the corner onto Pennsylvania Avenue a good distance away, so I started picking up the bills. There were other people around, but nobody else tried to pick up any of the money and I got all of it, around $85 as I recall. I got to the event pretty excited about my good fortune and looking forward, as always, to hear what Big Frank had to say.

Henry, what a coincidence to see you post - I was talking up your 'Glory of Their Times' c.d. to a friend, and believe it or not - he had a copy already!
I've heard those c.d.'s more than 'Stairway to Heaven' or 'Freebird'.
