Camera placement during Super Bowl

In January, our meetings usually deal with sports and much of the time, the Super Bowl. Our luncheon on Wednesday, January 16, 2002 at Williamson's Restaurant in Bala Cynwyd, a suburb of Philadelphia, was no exception.

George also did the Philadelphia Mummers Parade on a half dozen different ocassions. After being graduated from college, Finkel went to work for Playboy magazine.
