What a great moment that must have been. Sinatra in your church. I grew up on him. Sinatra and the Rat Pack. I did not appreciate him then....wasn't cool cuz my parents dug him. But in my old age I really appreciate him. My brother even said he was crazy about him now. We are talking about an extremely delayed reaction. I just regret I never saw him in person. Saw Sammy though. And Dean used to hit on my mother back in the old days. Melinda

Well, you and Melinda seem to have the real Sinatra stories! I'm impressed! Let's see---closest I can come---my Aunt Mary and Uncle Cecil went to a show at Riverside Amusement Park somewhere, probably Riverside,in Connecticut in the 30s and there was a very small, skinny singer who wasn't very good (his voice "wiggled"). The audience didn't like him at all and booed him off the stage; someone even threw a tomato, although I never thought to ask Aunt Mary why that person brought a tomato to the show. Aunt Mary claimed it was Frank Sinatra and that she went up to him outside after the show and told him she thought he was good. She said he was very nice and sweet and polite. Aunt Mary was quite a beauty in her day so I don't doubt it.
