other worthy cause. Victor may not
have won the pri- e, but he surely did

was that I GOT THE GONG. But
what really started out to say about
victor was that you should ought to
near him play the Fox Chase on his
mouth harp. You can almost see
those hounds a-barking and that fox

SUCH talent to keep running to waste
