Banner's band leader remembers

Let me compliment you on a job well done on the sad story about the hardworking Banner family and Banner Lodge. I drove around there a while back and was sick at seeing a wasteland.

I remember the good old days waiting for the busloads of New Yorkers coming for good times. Foozy Gordon, who has passed on, was the waker-upper at the Lodge. Oh, just great memories. Thank you again for your report.
