[78-L] [78L RAMONA DAVIES

[George Anglin]

My votes for Ramona. In the early sixties, I used to carry her groceries out to her car at a local super market. She used to winter in Tucson, Ariz. I was 16 at the time. One day I brought a record of hers to work with me for her to autograph. Man was she surprised. George Anglin
