Am looking for Ben Gaines' daughter - her name was Helene and we were friends when we were kids in the 40's and 50's. If anyone knows her married name, it would be so helpful. There was also a son, I believe Robert?

Amazingly, this place is still there, intact (but under a different name). And the front rooms still look down on nothing more exciting than a parking lot. However, it is now surrounded by 40 story monstrosities.

Still looking for anyone who knew a bookkeeper at a Miami Beach Hotel in 1953. Please contact me at Boodles1953@aol.com or look me up on Facebook.
