Linger
“MRS. Dunlinger was singing. She was in The Regency Room that night in late January. In The Grill, Desert Storm was on CNN. No one wanted to watch any other channel.
Any family with a serviceperson who was assigned to the Gulf was entitled to a two-for-one dinner. One couple whose daughter was over there came from Philadelphia for filet mignon with mashed. Mr. Dunlinger had them sign her name on the honor roll in the hall, and he sent them two glasses of complimentary wine.
The walls were festoo...ned with red, white, and blue crepe paper; the ceiling with yellow ribbons; and on every table by the salt and pepper, there was a little stand with a cotton American flag stuck in it.
“Did you put Bobby’s name on the honor roll?” Mr. Dunlinger asked me.
“No, Sir.”
“Well, do it! When this war is won, we’re going to have one bang-up celebration here, and everyone on that honor roll is going to be my guest!”
He’d taken out ads in the county newspapers, and he had a commercial on WTGH: LINGER THANKS OUR BRAVE ARMED FORCES!MoreLess
