Who was
Orson
Welles?
George
Orson
Welles
(May 6,
1915 –
October
10,
1985)
was an
Academy
Award-winning
American
director,
writer,
actor
and
producer
for
film,
stage,
radio
and
television.
Welles
first
gained
wide
notoriety
for his
October
30, 1938
radio
broadcast
of H. G.
Wells’
The War
of the
Worlds.
Adapted
to sound
like a
contemporary
news
broadcast,
it
caused a
number
of
listeners
to
panic.
As the
famous
presidential
debate
statement
made by
Senator
Lloyd
Bentsen
to V.P.
Quayle
might
have
gone,
Marvo, I
knew
Orson
Welles
and he
was a
friend
of mine.
Marvo,
you are
no Orson
Welles.
Of
course,
I didn’t
really
know
Orson
but I
was
almost 3
months
old when
his
famous
“April
Fool
like”
radio
show was
broadcast,
so I
could
have.
Folks,
Marv
Myers
caused a
sensation
out here
with his
now
famous 7
Flags
Under
Texas
April
Fools
Day
parody
in our
last
issue. I
think
the
prospect
of a
Hooters
was the
most
terrifying
thing to
many in
the
piece.
Momma,
call the
realtor,
we are
moving!
We have
never
had
better
evidence
that
people
are
reading
our
newspaper.
The
phone
rang off
the wall
here and
I am
told, at
the
Myers
house.
Marv
spent
the week
after
the
paper in
Oklahoma
City,
leaving
wife
Rose to
deal
with the
turmoil.
Are we
having
fun yet?
Even
Bob
Levy, of
Silverleaf
Resorts
fame,
was
initially
fooled
and his
email of
congratulations
to Marv
on the
piece
said he
was
getting
ready to
call Rob
James,
HLR GM,
to find
out what
in the
____ was
going
on. Are
we
having
fun yet?
I had
some
negative
emails,
and a
few
phone
calls as
well,
but no
one
hauled
any of
my
dispensers
off and
dumped
them in
my
driveway
like Fay
did. So
I guess
we are
having
fun! W.C.
The
Fore
Seasons
seems to
be
“chugging
along”
with
several
daytime
catering
events
where
the
ladies
stay
after
their
meals to
enjoy
bridge
and
MaJong
all
afternoon.
The
Tuesday
night
openings
are
trying
to catch
on and
should
help
also.

The
“off
Ranch”
customers
are
being
offered
a one
year $25
pass to
be able
to come
into the
East
Side by
calling
ahead
for
reservations
and then
presenting
the
paper
gate
pass
card to
Security
for a
token.
Sounds
like a
plan.
