My pal Tony Tollin reports that he attended the funeral for Soupy Sales…and says it was a funeral, not a memorial service as I wrote. There will be another, longer memorial service at some point in the future.
Ed Golick reports that a 1962 edition of Pie In Your Eye: The Official Soupy Sales Fan Club Newsletter stated that Soupy's saving cream of choice for pie-making was Aero Shave. I don't think that's currently made…at least not in its old formula. When they did the syndicated show in the seventies, master pie-hurler Clyde Adler told me that they'd done a lot of experimentation with different brands of shaving cream and pie shells.
Ira B. Matetsky sent me this link to a nice essay in the New York Post about Soupy.
That's all for now. There will be more.
