Fond Memories
The
matchbooks!
More than 50 years ago, I remember going to Palisades
Park by bus from my home town, Jersey City. That day, Mel Torme performed
there. At that time, he was probably in the beginning of his career. I
asked for, and got, his autograph, which I misplaced many years ago. I
also remember tearing apart the matchbooks to see if there was a picture
of "Pal" on the inside, under the staple. If there was, you got
free admission to the park.
