Before long all the doormen and elevator operators at the now famous San Remo (where an apartment recently sold for 24 Million!) wanted me to bring them not only coffees but Chinese food, hamburgers, donuts and as time progressed additional New York Daily News for many of the tennants in the twin towered 27 story building. By the time I was a senior in high school the senior doorman asked me if I wanted a job as the relief doorman/elevator operator which I gladly took on. By this time I must have had about thirty to forty regular newspaper customers and had a good income stream which kept me always with pocket money to pretty much do a lot of fun teenager things. I also got to meet and know a lot of very famous people many on a first name basis. Funny thing was when I got the job on the door, people would come in and toss me their car keys without ever asking me if I had a driver's licence (which I didn't) and I would have to park and retrieve cars. Thats pretty much how I learned to drive...and the cars! The stories I could tell.
