The Fans at James Dean's 71st Birthday Party
Here you are. Match up which pictures are the Road Rockets Hot Rod Club
from Indianapolis, the Fairmounters, the band and friends, and the bewildered souls
who just wandered in for a meal. Jane Bauer, born the day after Jimmy, missed
the party this year because she had had a heart attack, but she is doing well. Tommy
Tucker missed the party because he was ill in the hospital. We also missed Aleta
Vertuno, Santa from Chicago, Rose and Bernie, Magdalin Leonardo, Bob Reese, RJ and Hazel
Mott and Kris Frailey, President of the fan club James Dean Remembered. Kris lives in
Arizona, and this year she got to go to the west coast birthday party hosted by Kenneth
Kendall!!!!!!!! Can't wait to hear her report. Hope we get to see everyone I did and
didn't mention at the next Fan Weekend or in September.
Each of us came to tears during Pam's presentation.
She is in the middle in this picture.
Some of us went to the new sports bar/restaurant,
the GIANT, whose information I will bring you soon as I finish the birthday party news.
It's next to the mural downtown in Fairmount. Needless to say, the food is
remarkably excellent.
Jimmy would have loved the new Fairmount eatery, the
Giant.
The biggest debate in town is which sandwich is the best: the house burger or the breaded
tenderloin. Neil Douglas, when
you return you can try that tenderloin. I know they don't have any in London, where
you are now in several galleries.
