...remembers his four years there as "wonderful, difficult years"; his parishioners remember him as the young man who increased the congregation from 200 to 400. In the choir he found "the first and only girl I was ever attracted to-I suppose because she was a strange, offish person, too. She sang soprano solos, was quiet, not especially pretty, and she was going with another fellow at the time. We would go to the opera together. I remember asking permission to kiss her -it was granted, to my surprise." Hilda Drewes and Pastor Fry were engaged in 1926, and married...

I bet an eye doctor would back me up that El Greco's elongations were artistic, not optical, aberrations...
...show, but last week the feuding drowned out the denials. "I'll tell you why we cut her," Paar erupted before one show. "Does one say 'Your fly's open' on the air? Or do you take out a falsy before the camera? No other person has ever confronted me with such embarrassment or provocation. Oh she's terribly bright-very shrewd, calculating. You notice how she fiddles at her skirt scratches, waves to the audience. That's her method of competing. I tell her not to and she says I'm jealous...
