- Brad Butler, an account executive for Promotion in Motion, on Westbrook's late crooner and actor, Rudy Vallee.
For what it's worth, Butler's spot-on with the latter observation: I spent at least ten minutes sweeping granny panties off the Riverbank Park bandstand after the public screening of The Palm Beach Story this past August.
Okay, I would have spent ten minutes doing so if people actually, you know, showed up.
