| Speaking of selling things. I heard Dr. Trotter is selling his business (or offering) to the other doc's so that he may have more time to promote the Round-Up. I heard he will still be there but will not be the primary owner. Has anyone heard the same? |

| It's hard to picture Dodge without my Pa at the D.O. but it's been a great run and the stories I still have to tell about Billy and that place will last a very long time. I was in a few months ago and the Book had been gone again for a year or so. The "family photo album" as we came to know it came about when my friend and I would call Billy at about 9 p.m. and ask if anything was happening or if we should just go home after work. Billy would ALWAYS say, "The place is full of fine looking women." We'd get there and it would be Billy, Bobby and some really drunk guy with most of his teeth missing. Bill would SWEAR they had all just left about 30 min before we got there. One night I got out an old Polaroid I had in a box of junk, put film in it and took it to the D.O. I told Bill to take a pic of the place filled with these women because I'd never seen it like that. The next night I got there and Billy had outdone himself again with the first of the photos. The rule was, no faces, shirts up, no coercion and nobody was forced to get their pic taken. You could buy them drinks for encouragement but that was it. Then someone stole the book and we had to start over. We got some photos and bought a poster frame with the plexi-glass front and screwed it to the wall. Billy told me that ABC confiscated it as “evidence” and that was that. The book was returned at one point but then someone stole it again but it was a legendary thing for a while and I was proud to be part of the history of that place even if it was a very small part of history.
