...miles away, for the reception. Ten blaring jazz bands serenaded them along the way. After them came 400 wedding guests, including Music Hall Star Mistinguett and U.S. Vice Consul William Bates. Other celebrators: French army Senegalese, local fishermen, long-haired existentialists from Paris, two men carrying a twelve-foot clarinet, cagefuls of doves that had been let loose to flap overhead.

Greenewalt, who used to play clarinet, cello and the piano, now likes to tootle on the basset horn. His restless mind ranges rapidly from hobby to hobby. To make model steam and gasoline engines he transformed one big downstairs room into a machine shop. He also grows orchids.
