Jackie knows now that dolly carries the TV
camera around on the stage.
Bob dictates correspondence to Jackie in his
office at the Wolff home, 3063 Harrison street NV
They both admit there's some confusion at times
with Bob's three children, aged T. and ~
running around
Sometimes we have to stop working when the
kids come in and ask Bob to sing, take Me Out to

Bob says Jackie is "a wizard at dictation" She

she lives with three other stewardesses Often she

At 5-foot-2 and 103 pounds Jackie is the
minimum height for stewardess. However this
hasn't kept the 21-year- old brunette from being
beauty contest winner.
When she was IT, Jackie was runner-up for
the title of Dream Girl in the San Mateo County
fiesta. In 1854 she entered the contest again and
won over contestants from 10 other cities

That year she lost out in the Miss San Fran

girl that beat Jackie was Lee Ann Meriwether who
went on to be Miss California and Miss America
After attending night school at the University
of California and working a secretary for the
FBI in San Francisco Jackie went to Chicago for
five weeks of stewardess training. She came here
last May
The part-time secretarial job has worked out
fine for both Jackie and Bob. The only argument
Bob has with her is who travels more miles he in
his committing to New York and farther for shows,
or his high-hying secretary in her regular job.
