I remember being quite taken by his turban. I don't think we ever bought one. now I wish we had. I'm pretty sure I never saw him in his clown persona & can't be certain he ever made a living as one. years later I askd Dad abt Rollins' clownness & he was unable to recall details.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">then there was a neighbor named Tom Redockovich. he workd at Bendix.

I used what I needed but still had sand left in the bag. at one point I gave Christine Anthony & Owen Masterson one of the pages from <u>Gildzen at 50</u> I used in the Monterey piece along with a little bag of the sand. but there was still enuf sand to call me to do more.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">then last nite after hitting the pillow my wandering mind came up with a new piece. I decided to take 10 pages from <u>Gildzen at 50</u> which I'd used in the Monterey piece & affix the sand onto them with glue. I have no idea how long these pieces will last but I'm pleased with them. & now my multiple decades can be celebratd in numerous places.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
