What's this?

Toast of the Town, literally. As I still recall being in: The Cosmos Club

...after their games... and what a HUGE deal and how strict I was informed I had to behave.
Like Parental DefCon -1 if you will.

(even recall the matchbooks and how h-a-r-d they were to get).
(My pockets being full of 'em, of course)... ; )

Coach Allen was a member there and when he walked in he walked in as Royalty itself.
(even among all the DeeCee truly upper-crust top-shelf, mucky-mucks).
