I was just wondering if anyone read the article in GQ this month on Eldon
Harris, the "lost" member of the rat pack... It was good, but I was wondering
if anyone had any other info on this guy...

Thanks!

Sinatra.

(I thought that was what this group was about, right?)

This doesn't seem to get a whole lot of traffic, but based on the GI-Joe sitcom
script we've seen going on here (hilarious, BTW), I figured this was the
Sinatra Rat Pack...

If I'm in error, I apologize....

I have been assuming that this news group is devoted to Mr. Sinatra's
pack.

Well I, for one, would not have any objection to discussing either the
Hombly Hills Rat Pack or Sinatra's "Summit." (Since he didn't like the
phrase "Rat Pack.")

But why the hostility toward Betty Bacall? She was an integral part of
the Hombly Hills pack (official "den mother," I believe) and a rather
important part of Sinatra's life for a time.

Just wondering,
Kat

You'll actually have to be more specific than that. Sinatra was a member

of two, actually. One that Bogart was the head of, and the second of
which he was the head.

Of course we all know which one has more, but it was that first class
*itch who coined the term for Bogarts pack.

Thank you, Lauren, for another stunning moment of wit and charity.

Yours etc,

I read the same article. It's plausible. I am an amateur historian of Las Vegas in its "golden age". Crazier things have happened. Do you still have the article? I misplaced several pages and can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks.
