About fifty years ago on the way to visit her own childhood home in Grand Rapids, Judy Garland paid us a visit. She wanted to see the newspaper where her friend, Warren William, used to work. Partner at the time, Tony Klee, told Garland that William had frequently been on the premises but they couldn't get him to do any work." ... "He was a good sportsman--one of Hollywood's best tennis players and yachtsman." The article definitely contains some errors and I'm not sure how solid the above information is; William's acquaintance with Garland and proficiency as a sportsman are pieces of information I haven't seen elsewhere. The article is accompanied by an old publicity photo of William and a new (I guess) photo of the house he grew up in, built the same year he was born. Cliff, I don't own the clipping of this article but I can send you a photocopy if you're interested and let me know where to send it.
