Center. He's with Helen Hayes in “Wisteria Trees.” We become very friendly, and the families get to know each other. We visit at his home. The first time Anne and I go there. He lives in Mount Vernon then. Before we eat, they start saying grace. The first time I've ever been to anything like that. But anyway our kids knew each other, their kids. I remember when Ossie was in “Jamaica,” Ruby was still playing opposite Sidney in Lorraine Hansberry's “Raisin in the Sun.” And I tell Ossie, “I'm going to see “Raisin” tonight.” He says, “Okay, let's get together. We'll get Sidney and Ruby and I, and we'll go out after.” This is '59. This is after the strike. The strike is finished already.

We're jumping around a little bit now. That's okay.

And I remember we're sitting in this darkened place and Sidney comes in, and we say hello. I knew Sidney. The first thing he says to me, he says, “Moe, I want to apologize. I want to apologize to you. I know I have not been involved with the strike as much as I should have, and I'm sorry. I want to apologize.” And he's apologizing to Ossie, too.

So we're doing things like that, and I have other things here, that will- -

I think we're going to have to save it, unless you want -- I don't know what to do, because we are really running out --

Okay, we're running out, but we also had things like the 1199 university. I decided that we would have classes, not only just education, but we decided we'd have cosmetics classes to teach pharmacists how to sell cosmetics, because it's an important thing, so we get the companies to bring in their trainers who train cosmeticians. So cosmeticians are being trained, pharmacists being told how to sell cosmetics.
