Sinatra, well known for handing out $100 tips, asked the Valet - after receiving great service from him - what was the biggest tip he ever got. The Valet answered $100 dollars. So, Frank hands him two, $100 dollar bills. Frank is about to walk away when he stops and turns to the Valet and asks him, "By the way, who gave you that tip?" The Valet answers, "Why you did, Mr. Sinatra!"

LOL! The more I hear about Sinatra the more I like him.

The Sinatra story I related earlier has an addendum; not about Frank Sinatra but Jack E. Leonard.

Many years ago I was in nearby Lake Geneva, WI and stopped at the Playboy Resort's Playmate Bar for a drink before heading home (12 miles away). The bar itself was empty but the lounge/stage area had two tables occupied by Jack E. Leonard and some 'groupies' who were hanging on his every word (Leonard was appearing there at the time). Not only could he be heard by them but by me and I was at least 30-40 feet away. He was loud, obnoxious and vile. I raised my eyes to the bartender who shook his head in turn and stated something to the effect that he couldn't wait until Leonard's stint was over.

Sinatra and Wayne were class acts. Jack E. Leonard was famous for a while but if there are a lot of people today who haven't heard of him, well, there's a reason.

'Nuff said!
