I was active in Tucson Press Club and gridiron in the 1970s and I never knew what came of it and that a book was written. Tom Turner was active and Jack Shaffer (sp?), a big photographer, would do a ballet in a pink tutu.
OMG! I'm on the floor ... not where an ol' gal like me should be ... LOL and cheering! Hootin' and hollerin' over 'Powder Milk Biscuits.' This whole schtick is right up my alley! Cheers, Dave! (I'd say, "Break A Leg!" but ya can't be too careful anymore.)
Fun article. So great to see a pic of my old friend Jess Riggle. I've thought of him often over the years. We worked together in an ad agency. He would indulge my "Jr. Copywriter" enthusiasm and I would let him chuck X-acto knives into the drywall in the art department.
My Uncle was Jess Riggle. I know that he deeply appreciated his time and colleagues at TPC and the Gridiron (2nd pic from top). Thanks for posting this. JER

Greta reminiscence. I can just see him doing it. I miss him.

I loved the big lug. A funny, irreverent and very good guy.
