His name was Mickey O'Rourke. I would visit him there on Friday or Saturday late afternoons to pick up my $10.00 for the week and would eat the biggest, juiciest cheeseburger or the most elaborate open faced grilled cheese I have seen in my life. I have never in my life had a cheeseburger or grilled cheese like the ones I had there. It was quite a good feed for a 13 year old growing boy.Little Mickey O'Rourkenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6380232356803921253.post-61109110367665411212012-03-14T12:26:15.640-04:002012-03-14T12:26:15.640-04:00I went there offten for football baquets for the O...I went there offten for football baquets for the Olney Eagles, I remermber when Chuck (Concret Charly) Beddneric spoke at one Still have an autographt picture and later went to a few weddings thereJim Hollerannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6380232356803921253.post-63453331498798951432010-01-10T19:16:24.705-05:002010-01-10T19:16:24.705-05:00My mom, Maryann, was a waitress at the Schwarzwald...My mom, Maryann, was a waitress at the Schwarzwald Inn for most of my childhood. She is now 69 and lives in Little Egg Harbor Township, NJ with her husband, John Loomis, former editor of the Olney Times. Does anyone remember her? She was the young, cute waitress who had 4 kids. We usually had our Easter dinner there while Mom was working. --JoanneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6380232356803921253.post-81159807981417225422010-01-10T17:15:00.318-05:002010-01-10T17:15:00.318-05:00Yep, Tim, I'm a member in good standing of tha...Yep, Tim, I'm a member in good standing of that page, and thanks for the links!Dan Leohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01603402268945559679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6380232356803921253.post-55393299702066537032010-01-10T15:40:47.448-05:002010-01-10T15:40:47.448-05:00Dan-

But Joe and Larry, both of whom had been (quite good) boxers in their youth were somehow personal friends of Sonny Liston, so they invited him and that was that. you didn't argue with Joe or Larry. You didn't talk loud while they were singing either. Not if you didn't want a black eye you didn't. <BR/><BR/>I vaguely remember this George kid, little did I know he would one day be president. He was very drunk if I recall. Don't know how he wound up at the Schwarzwald.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
