The next Camp Fund affair will be held in the La
Famitte-Cafe,-2QA7 Fifth Avenue, on Monday, March 25.
Guest hostess for the evening will be Elaine Grayson.
Another one of our selections for the “Mrs. (or
Miss) Harlem” title is Willette Craine of the La
Famille. Willette would be where she is today regard
less of anyone, because she always had
that business determination and is the
kind of person who knows how to dele
gate authority. She is a very warm,
very jolly and very sweet person, and
is also the type of person who wouldn’t
hurt anyone on purpose.
ft is easy to see that Linnette
Phillips of Linnette’s Lounge, 714 St.
Nicholas Avenue, is a loner in this busi
ness and prosperous enough at this point wu,eMe Cratoe
to ,take no LIP from anyone. She had the know-how
to come into this business alone a few years ago and
has-built up a spot that is second to none on the hill.
Linnette is a marvelous, bright, charming, happy-go-
lucky person. I might add here that Willette and Lin
nette are truly good friends.
Incidentally, Mike Phillips, Linn
ette’s husband, is confined in Sydenham
Hospital for major surgery.
Skipper’s Expecting
The Leigh Skippers are expecting
another bundle in April.
.•Here is a reply to my column in the
Mgrch 9 issue, in which I stated that,
according to a source, no Negro Har-
leic tavern owners went to Albany to
protest the proposed liquor license fee
increase. . .
Linnette Phillips
11th March, 1963
Dear Mr. Palmer:
Just a short note to inform you that Johnnie Walker
and myself both attended the protest ride to Albany by
proxy. As we were both too busy to go ourselves, we
sent representatives.
Yours very truly,
/s/ Michael Hedley
