I can believe that story. A close friend Richard and his wife ran a Polo store on Coast Village.

Mr. Winters would be taking a walk numerous times and would stop in and say hello. Richard passed too many years ago but it was fun to drop by and chat with him and hear him recount the last time he had walked in and "chewed the fat" with them.

Good recount.

I read this interesting article by "Mr. Intelligence" Robert Eringer on Jonathon Winters.

I will focus on Jonathon Winters since this is supposedly what the Story is all about

notwithstanding the CIA. Jonathon Winters was born in Dayton Ohio probably at the same

local Dayton Ohio Hospital where I was born. I met Jonathon Winters thru my High School best

friend whose father ran the local Dayton Radio station. Winters started in Radio in Dayton Area.

WInters had family and roots in the Dayton area and would come back to Dayton often. Winters a true Buckeye if there ever was one has all of the crazy characters of the area like his "Maude Frickert" shown here weblink>https://tinyurl.com/4vdf455m WInters Wiki weblink below>

I see Winters and I think of Dayton Ohio and what a Crazy and Zanny place it was.

And Winters was in the US Marines and served in WWII like my 8 Uncles all from Dayton Ohio.
