Fred YMy wife was w/ me on that trip to Stratford (from Providence), as she was quite often when I did out-of-town weekend shows to help me man the tables.
She patiently sat w/ us the whole time, knowing what a time I was having just talking to Tommy, even tho I'm sure she would just as soon be having dinner!
For Christmas that yr she gave me the famous picture of the "Dropped 3rd Strike", all framed & matted, dually signed by Tommy & Mickey, which she had unknowingly to me, gotten before we returned home.
This would have qualified for the "You know you have a great wife" thread, I certainly believe!
NOTE: Mickey Owen passed away in 2005 at the age of 89.
