Greg-
I heard that Albert White left the Ringling show because of a "discussion" about a $5.00 a week raise.
Have you ever heard of this?

I THINK (and I emphasis THINK) that Albert had a sister who lived in The Bronx and the family name was Moskowitz.

Greg?

Albert died in Sarasota in the fall of 74 while CC was in session.

Uncle Albert "Flo" White had eight sisters and brothers -- one of his brother's Elchan (Hank) lived in the Bronx. Albert was born in Baltimore, as were his other sisters and brothers, and named Abraham Isadore Meyrowitz.
