The slow boat to Union

Post by JohnM »

Mark Dawson is spending a few days with us in Jerome, Arizona on his way to Union from New Zealand. Here he is hanging with one of the servers at The Bordello Restaurant.

What Tootsie Rolls? I don't see any Tootsie Rolls. What's the gag?

Inside joke . . . Mark brings Whittaker chocolate from NZ. Ken sent him Tootsie Rolls.

The Whittaker chocolate that Mark brings is awesome. A couple of years ago when Mark was at the Union show, he dug through my dish of candy I put on my table and really enjoyed the Tootsie Rolls. I sent him an Edison a few months ago and included some more in the crate. Unfortunately, the shipper in Florida didn't know how to handle and invoice Tootsie Rolls on the shipping paperwork. It held up the shipment for several weeks.
