Larry BURGER9 ET3, managed to celebrate his 2ist birthday last week in spite
of a bottle of champaigne at the Club Dayview. It seems like some of the "older

ring introduction into the world of the 21 year olds and older. They must have ™
done a real fine job. bURGER left 5 untouched drinks on the table as he departed
the club for parts unknown.
