He surely did. Great story, by the way.
I also talked to a Bartender in Palm Springs at a certain restaurant where Mr. Sinatra used to frequent. The Bartender couldn't speak highly enough of Frank.
In fact, he flat-out told me that he bought his first home, a Condo in Palm Springs, from the Chairman's tips.
Frank knew where he came from and never forgot. He was very generous towards people that he liked.
Yep. My parents were generous people, who hosted many family gatherings over the years. A few years ago at a cousin's 50th wedding anniversary, their son, a pastor, remembered how when staying at "Auntie's" (our house), he be wakened in the morning by Frank Sinatra on the stereo (a habit of mine...). I don't know, but his collection of Sinatra recordings at least rivals mine, if not a little larger now.
