Our Historian, Lion Leo Finkelstein , gave another of his highly am u sing reports from the Pacific Theatre in World War II; It seems that some of his buddies and he on one occasion in particular experienced a rather serious air attack. Immediately I I thereafter, one earned the name Starvin Marvi n and our own pocket pianist became known as " Leo the Hero" what time he wasn't called Foxhole Finkelstein. Without a doubt, foxholes were handy things to be in with the Japs dropping bombs all over the place .

Finklcstcin and a couple of scr 6~ants were dispatched across the airbase to deliver a bomber to another section of the field. Cpl. Finklestein was ordered to sign a receipt for over a million dollars worth of aircraft ; then while apparently he was at the controls, Sgt . hooked a cle-trac to the nose of the airplane and. delivered it to the nearest refueling stop where Cpl. Finkelstein ordered "fill er up" and i t took 3,000 gallons of high octane avi ation fuel for that purpose. Lion PP Leo was grateful that he and the sergeants wer e not required to pay for that load of gasoline out of their own. pockets. Thanks Leo, for the memories.

Before the program, PP Leo regaled us again with one of his tales from an Army Air Corps Base. He had written a letter fro• said base to friends and relatives whose subject was the PX.

In the days when you traveled to Waynesville by car and then caught a train to Murphy, Old Man Sternberg went ab out buying and selling cow hides and junk and sometimes his son, Joe, accompanied him all the way to Murphy. On one occasion, after he had acquired a local bank, the elder Mr. Sternberg lent a circus $200.00 and took an elephant as collateral. The elephant, of course, ate too much; and the only way the bank could recoup was to sell the manure to a local nursery and florist shop Middlemont Gardens.

This time he told abcut helping "Corporal Mark" furnish security in the nighttime for 60,000 pound bombers, their mess hall, wareho1.1ses, etc. on an island in the Pacific. Such duty led to full stomachs and happy experiences for both of them; and their consciences were clear because their missions were accomplished and the base and its armaments were secure and the cause of peace was being advanced. - - - ·-------- - ---- Some of Lion Leo ' s she nanig ans in the South Pacific were reported by him in letter fo rm during WWII. And in this i n~tance, consis ted of some hilarious experiences in particular among three friends who managed somehow or another to purchase some $8.00 per gallon ice cream for 8.3 cents per gallon . That has to be the best small business venture in the ?istory of the world. Keep i t up, Lion Leo, we are enjoying your Pacific Island adventures as much as you did !

We have two assurances a 1. There will be no pornography or e•barrasing state•ents such as we see and hear on the radio and television. TODAY'S PROGRAM was presented by Program Chairman, Lion Helen Smith, who introduced Lion PP Leo Finkelstein and Lion Ann Rice. Lion Leo had put together a script containing some of his highly hilarious experiences as a soldier in the Islands of the Pacific during WWII. It took the form of questions--as posed by Lion Ann--and answers by Lion Leo and was entitled "The Love. (?) Life of a Soldier in WWII." To Ye Ed the funniest episode referred to the fact that a much maligned bombardier spotted a red light the women on the island." ~nd "blew up all of All present got many belly laughs out of today's program; and we thank you Lions Helen, Ann, and Leo for presenting to us so many opportunities for same . To Lion Leo: Please keep reducing your memoirs to writing and make them available to all of us in book form. \ Lion Leo then regaled us with another of his Hysterical Moments, this time in ve~y amt~sing poetry. Keep up the good work, Lion Leo, yot1 ft1r~1~h us wi ~ h wonderful opportunit · to laugh; "the best med1c1ne". les ,, �Following Father Bob's exposition, Lion Helen called upon Lion PP Leo Finkelstein for another of his highly humorous experiences on islands in the Far East. This time, Lion Leo · read to us some excerpts ·of letters he had written home--primarily to his m~ther--about Hanukkah and Christmas. These letters told the great contrast between conditions where he was and conditions in the home kept spotleis and extremely comfortable by his "Mom". belo~ed To Ye Ed these letters bespeak of the tremendous love and affection a young soldier had for his beloved mother and the wonderful memories that he had of his home and homeland. Lion Historian Leo added another jewel to his co l lection of letters from the Sout h Pacific. The Historical report was given by Lion Leo Finkelstein aMd was most ent~rtaining as usual. ~hank you Lion Leo for sharing part of your past with us. ~ Lion Leo then gave us the benefit of •ore of his very. pleasurable "Historica~ Mo ~ents." This ti•e he reflected upon experiences that he and so•e friends had at the old Asheville High School--if me•ory s~rves correctly--at or about 1922. According to Lion Leo, those were interesting and memorable days indeed; especially when an auto•obile was available. Thanks, Leo, for sharing with us so•e of you~ wonderful •emeries that re•ind us of how A•erica was and perhaps could be agian. PP Guy Penland presented the Eye Clinic Report as follow: Total Units of work for January, 455; &7 referrals to personal Physicians were made; Eye Glasses donated, 38 and 22 sets of lenses; Eye Exa• and Glasses provided by the Clinic, 2 pair; Eye Care Assistance provided through the eye glass program, 27; Volunteers donated 111 hours of service.

The delicious •eal was supple•ented with a large, chocolate birthday cake. The •eeting was ~alled to order at noon by Lion President Dr. Al Anderson. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Lion PP John Heatherly and the invocation was given by Lion J.W. Kibler. Lion PDG Ji• Parker introduced our distinguished guest Lion DG Tony Dalton. Lion DG Tony congratulated us on our 70th anniversary •aking us the oldest club in District 31A. We can also clai• the oldest president of a 31A club, Lion PP __.Leo FinkelsteiQ, and the oldest •e•ber, Lion PP Bill Plu••er. L~on Tony urged us to intensify our fund raising for "Sight First" this year and our •e•bership drive to add at least 10% •ore •••bers. The district •ay be rearranged if overall •e•bership continues to fall. By the way, Lion Leo will be 88 in June and Lion Bill will be 9& the sa•i •ontR. -- ~ Lion PDG Jack Cole gave a brief history of our club. We were sponsored by the Wiryston-Sale• Club and beca•e the 10th Club in North Carolina when we received our charter on March 22, 1923. There were 50 charter •e•bers. The oldest ljvjgg ..-p~sldent a L.;igp Lep (1939-ML) followed by Llon - DanFurr <1943-44>. The band started ~n the 70's under the leadership of Lion PP Sheriff Charlie Long. Lion Leo retired and started playing the piano while Lion Jack soon joined as a fiddler. The band now known as the 'Sancti•onious Seven' consisted today of Lions Fritz <and son Dave>, Ben, John, George, Jack, and Bill. This was Lion Bill Anderson's debut on the dru•s and he sounded quite professional without rehearsing or •usic. The band proceeded to play our old favorites: 'Loneso•e Road Blues', 'Yes Sir That's My Baby', 'Five Foot Two and Eyes of Blue', 'In the Good 01' Su••erti•e', ' I ' • Forever Blowing Bubbles', and closed with their the•e song 'She Wore a Tulip & I Wore a Big Red Rose'. awe» 'I Lion PP Leo entertained us with so•e early history of he club. He spoke of •eeting in the '30's in the S&W afeteria when •eals cost less than t1.00. He spoke of a elebration of so•e obscure event when 97 •e•bers out of a possible 100 attended a stag party on Beaucather Mountain hi!:h illu~tr~ted tt;a pa1•ticipat.iu11 in those days. Leo's re•iniscence is always a•using and sti•ulating. \~ �LION LEO presented another install•ent of his historical <I call'•• "hysterical"> experiences in Uncle Sa•'s Ar•y during WWII. The funniest part of today's install•ent had to do with the •any uses of his hel•et; particularly under his bed.

Lion Leo commented that t h is report was #71 on WWII of a total of 150 such reports. This time he discussed (if memory serves co rr ectly) a ten mile march with a ri~e , a te nt with metal pegs , field rations , a mess kit , toothbrush , a canteen of water a nd other odds and ends of military equipment hanging from his back and shoulders and arms. The way he described this experien ce was very amusing to all of us; but to him at the time, especia lly in a hot desert su n, it couldn't have been and wasn't amusing to him. But we thank you, Lion Leo , for you r reminiscenses and for your having done your patriotic duty-serving your country and doing "everything (they) could get (you) to do" . Keep these reports coming--for they enliven our me e tings. Leo ' s Hysterical Moments consisted this time of Leo's P t·esct•i pt ion fot· a "Good Day" .

Among other things Lion Leo told us that dehydrated le•onade could well serve as battery acid. Several of us concur. Thanks, Leo, and please continue to brighten our meetings with your "Hysterical Moments". ----------------------------~ ' Lion PP Leo t~e ad us a ·letteor ft~oll WWII about his Ait~ Force latrine. Although it sounded luxurious by G.I. standard s , it was s o infested by insects and spiders that Leo couldn't enjoy his customary quiet time to read the paper. Lion PP Leo read us a lett e r from t he South Pacific written during WWII i ndi cati na how h e was ab l e to influence the l oc al electi on fo r chief by \ q ood old ~merican e n terprise. Lioh Bill introduced his quest Matt Bradley. We are delighted to have Lioness Sheila Douglas back with us and pray that her h~aling continues.

The Pledge o f Allegiance was led b y Bev Watson and the Invocation pronounced b y Lion Father Bob. We sang the usual two songs as led by Lio ns Joe and Jack. We really missed Lion PP Leo in this regard and hope that he can arrange his s c hed ule to be with us at the regular meetings. LION LEO'S HYSTERI~AL MOMENTS: Took us back to the Asiatic Theater and how the military trained and honed recruits into real Soldfers, Sailer s, and Marines. But, from discussions around poker tables and other gaming devices, none of them lost their individual American independence and true patriotism. Nor did Lion Leo ever l o se his wonderful humor and gift of saying so even though now he spends his time between his home and the Summit, where Liones s Sylvia is confined to bed. �PP LEO'S HYSTERICAL MOMENTS consisted of one of his letters to Sylvia in which he could not tell her exactly what he was doing or where he was. But she and home were greatly mis sed by t h at particular GI in the pacific. Lion Leo also told us about a group of Asheville High S chool students, including himself and our departed Lion Joe Ster nb erg in a Marmon automobile in which a good time was had by all. They drove to the fo~t of Mt . Pisgah wh ere they enjoyed <?> "yams and 'po ss um". Lion Leo entertained us with several more letters from the WWI I et'a. His new addt•ess i s : Leo Finkelstein The Su mmit Alt218 Asheville, NC 28805 .Phone : 299-Lt883 Lion PP Le o read a WWII letter about how he survived R&R with Ms. Anderson at the Payne Hotel . The jury is waiting for Part II of the episode. LION LEO'S HYSTERICAL MOMENTS c onsisted of his re a ding a l etter from a WWI mo the r to her overseas son in vJhich, among oth e r· thing s , s he s tated "The Cole f a mily acro s s the ridg e had a baby boy, whom they named Jacl< .

The career choice kept him off ~h tV ls t~o bad that Leo's • _ e audev1lle circuit. Lion Leo's Hysterical Moments consisted of some very amusing poems that he composed while a student at Asheville High School back in the early 1920s. His Thanatopsis to Algebra was most fitting; especially to those of us who struggled so unsuccessfully with that subject. Keep bringing these gems to us, Lion Leo. They brighten our meetings beyond measure • . .

They continue to c . br1ghten our day. Lion President Ann reminded PP Lion Leo that he owes us two Hysterical Moments, one of which he disch~rged today telling about his typing teacher, Miss Anderson, of Tishomingo, Oklahoma and the fact that she had the pleasure of enjoying the only private bathroom in Tishomingo. This was in Tishomingo's only hotel and was not far from the dining area that also served for linen and storage and a place for lumber. Under Miss Anderson's tutelage, Lio~ Leo ' got up to 30 words per minute on the typewriter. Good gain', Leo and keep'em comin'. L i on Leo' s "H y s t e t• i c a 1 Moment " co ns i s t e d o f h i s r e co'-'" t i n g an eKper ience occa sioned by his having so ld a Saturday Night Special to a doctor' who pt•oceeded to take it home wher e he shot himself. ~t l~ast he didn't do it in the courthouse, Thank Goodness. Lion PP Leo reported a recent occurance at the Ashwood Apartments of the Su•mit retirement home which resembles an Alfred Hitchcock movie. We are still trying to figure out who was under the bed. He also t'eported the formula for ",jungle juice" developed during WWII ~hie~ led to marketing of speculative gold mine stock. Thanks Leo. Don't get caught. 2f �Lion Leo'~ "Hysterical Moments" consisted of some of his poignant 111emories of WWII. He told about "Waiting in Lines" and timed various activities: some in minutes and some in seconds. But Lion Leo said that while he was in the Service it took a :ull ·sundC\y to t'ecuperate from the Saturday night before. L1on Leo closed by reading to us a copy of a letter he wrote to "Dear Mom" in which he expressed the tremendous contrast we all experienced between home and the military. He spoke for all of us when he expressed to his mom love and a deep appreciation for the many good things she did for hi~ that so easily ca111e to mind to one particular soldier. . &. Lion Leo gav~ . det4iled instructions on taking a bath out of a helment during WWII. His instructions were somewhat vague but he declined a generous offer to demonstrate the technique at a later •eeting. Too bad, he could qualify for a ~uppor~ . role on NVPD Blue. Leo's Hysterical Moments consisted of a detailed description of Christmas in 1943 on Guadalcanal among Lion Leo and several Gis engaged in conquering the Japanese. Mail call at that particular time was usually very heavy--even for Lion Leo, who had requested no 111ail Ot' gi'f·cs. B•..1t he wcas loaded tou. The Asheville Lions Club's then secretary <who later beca•e a District Governor> Lion Wesley Brown sent Lion Leo a box of eggs in the middle of which was a can of beans, which Lion Leo hid in his gas mask without opening until his birthday many moons away at which time he discovered in the can among some cotton batting two ounces of good bottled in bond whiskey. That had to be the finest can of beans Lion Leo ever opened. Keep' em coming, Lion Leo. We all 1 ove' em. -PP Ll0n L~o put u~ in became obvious to him that ~ prior to WWII. Keep th ~ se l Lion Leo; we love them and ~·---- - ..- - -···-- atitche~ ov~~ th~ fact that it he would not make Sergeant Hysterical Moments coming, we love you. Shortly thereafter, PDG Jim Parker presented and PDGs Jack Cole and Your Truly pinned Melvin Jones Awards (about as high as you can get in Lionis•> upon Lions Leo Finkelstein and Joe Parsons. This honor is well deserved by both of them and as ti111e goes on others of the Club will be so signally honored. Congratulations to both of o~r new Melvin Jones Fellows. Keep on keepin' on. I .\ �3J LION LEO' S "HYSTERICAL MOMENTS" consisted of a quote from the As heville Citizen-Times repeating and extolling Lion Leo's classic poem written from the South Seas during WWII in which Lion Leo expt•essed ovet• and over " I :· W na Go Home " and he gave many good t•easons therefot·. an All of u s , if we could, would h av e joined in that t' e f t' a i n • A g a i n , o u t' t h an k s , L i o n L e o , and k e e p tl p t h e good work .

Each of Queen Elizabeth's "employees" had a health certificate hanging in her room and there were different prices for different services. According to Lion Leo, he and Lt.

As with so many of Lion Leo ' s experiences, •those were good ole days•. Thank you, Lion Leo, for sharing with us so many amusing and memorable occasions as undergone by you--sometimes in the company of others. You always manage to keep us and any visitors in stitches.

It mentioned his participation i ·n the Dixie Jazz Band and contained one of his poems about the band. Then he read from a 1981 edition of . the ·Asheville Times about the class's 50th reunion. Memories of the Jazz Band were still fresh as well as the fact that Leo was one of the lucky few to have a car back in those high school days. Our Sanctimonious Seven was well known about town even back in 1981. Next week Leo tells of "The Love Life of a Soldier in WWII".

The other ~ndicated that within the past several days a lady at the Summit Retirement Center sang to the accompaniment o1 Leo's rendition on the piano of "How Much Is That Doggie i ~n The Window". When her husband commented to Lion Leo ~hat she had been through the years a wonderful musician; but this was the first time that he <her husband) had ~ heard her sing in years. Lion Leo stated that he is now 1 eternally grateful for his mother's having insisted on his practicing on the piano at least one hour per day I during his childhood. After that, Lion Leo stated that his lovely wife, }. Sylvia, suffering from Parkinson's told him that he, Leo, had an affair with a nurse and same was bruited about r among conversationalists and the media. But all of Leo's . sincere and painstaking efforts to ascertain the name of the nurse were to no avail. Tough luck, Lion Leo, but we I add our congratulations for having been so a·ccused.

It is presumed that his partner of the opposit~ sex may have had an answer.

We then were informed that the Sanctimonious Seven have now become the Sanctimonious Nine, all of whom are expert with their various musical instruments. On June 28, 1995, many of this group played patriotic tunes as requested by Ye Ed in conjunction with his annual Patriotic dissertation.

Lion Leo's Hysterical Moments consisted of an explanation of some of the City of Asheville's water and sewer problems <where have we heard this expression before?) in 1922. Lion Leo, as always, had a tet•rific grasp of the amuiing lacts surrounding that situation. And he was kind e'nough to share them with us as we 11 as some physical problems that he was having at about the same time. Lion Leo had doctors one and two and Doctor two was very important to the patient; because he happened to have what Lion Leo t•efet•t• ed to as a "roto-rooter". At any rate, at whatever cost financially and from the standpoint of pain and suffering Leo snapped out of it and, as you know, was at today's meeting to show for it. Keep'em comin', Leo; we enjoy your Hysterical Moments as much as some enjoyed hearing about OJ's recent acquisition of a special commuting limousine that he guaranteed to deliver every customer with "time to kill."
