FOLLOWED DADS FOOTSTEPS
AS the son Of San Francisco's
Brosio family. who have operated
the lombard restaurant since 1890,
you might think Freddie has a pas
sion for the role of restaurateur He
has not. He Spurned the family's
own restaurant when he left high
school and became an insurance
salesman, playing the stock market
on the side.
When both businesses went bad
after the 90 crash, he came to Los
Angeles on an insurance deal, re-
mainec to take over management of
Lucey's.
A restaurant like Luceys is big
business.
I'VE always have around $4,000
in accounts receivable OH OUR books"
Freddie says. Losses have been small.
He has to be careful, though. Like
the night has-been director, who
had already slipped him couple
of bad checks, wrote another. Fred
die refused to accept it, Don't you
know who I amp" stormed the di-
rector.
That's why I'm refusing to cash
your check replied Freddie, be
cause l know who you are"
