Otto
circa 1956

Otto, a career Air Force veteran, managed the Airman's Club at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi for many years. On many occasions Otto asked me to introduce featured acts at the club, kind of jump starting my career, and affording me opportunities to meet Dale McBride, Johnny Rivers, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bill Haley and others. Although he is now deceased, I will always remember Otto as a symbol of dignity. And his wife Gladys, also deceased as a wonderful friend, a great mom and an incredibly talented artist...
One son, Buddy, a gifted architect, is also deceased,
and two remaining sons are still rockin' (No single family should possess so much talent).
