Uh yes, I know. R This is news to you? In other words, plonk. And thus the signal/noise ratio is lowered even further by letting everyone know. Bertie |

I doubt it's the same now... Bertie Hey Bertie, you're bringing up some good ole' memories here buddy:-)) The way I get the story is that after Marty Weissman died in 2000 Bob Stumpf from the Blues got together a consortium of the Navy guys down there and tried to keep the place open, but it failed. Some guy named Heckemeyer bought it from the Weismann estate and tried to make a go of it, but it just wasn't the same without Marty. (Nor could it ever be in my opinion anyway :-) My understanding now is that the bar is gone and the Navy has all the stuff that was there including a photo of Skip Umstead and me cavorting at the bar. We almost hatched a plan one night after having a few to sneak into Marty's bedroom while he was sleeping and put a matching pair of socks on his feet and take a picture for posterity. Marty had a standing bet that he would pay any of us 100,000 bucks if we caught him wearing the same color socks, which of course never happened. Ah...the good ole days. Trader's was right up there with Pancho's and a few other "places of honor" I could mention scattered around the country, but Trader's was and always will be special for the guys who went through there at Pensacola. Hell, "Foggy"..(John Fogg from the Blues) became the mayor of Pensacola :-)) Dudley Henriques |

If so, how about sharing some juicy tales? Please. What happens in IFPF stays in IFPF as they say in Vegas! :-) Panchos was just a bit before I came along. We had several members in the IFPF who were and some remain close personal friends of ours. They flew at Edwards during the heyday that surrounded Pancho and her famous "club". Most of the "stories" as related to us are not the type you repeat on Usenet....well...some people might. I won't :-) Dudley Henriques |
