Read the story about Lulu.....(essay): I ran into Lulu when she was a female "host' at the Detroit Auto Show back in 1971. Now, unlike all the other girls welded against the new cars...this girl was special: at 5' 8" and 200 lbs, she stood out like a whore in church. But she would not be denied. The combination of charm and personalty had guys falling all over themselves as water over the Hoover Dam. We had worked together when she was an intern and half of her present 'self.' Having arrived on the mainland from Honolulu in 1965. That was the year I purchased my new '65 Mercury Comet. That is right, she worked the show her first year in town, and that was when cars were as simple as the GED I had just flunked! Well things were just fine until an over eager show attendee shrieked as she opened the trunk of the new sheet metal & glass compact that Ford was trying to sell: "OH no problem, " she said, as she calmed herself by pointing to the blooding torso. Dawn, just my luck, I thought as I was being shipped out of homicide into a new 'desk job.'////Guess things will just have to wait."////to be continued...
