Did you know Paul Nave?: Want to know someone's secret? Get 'em drunk!

That was my dad's philosophy!

So after yesterday's post, I decided I must go into the weekend with a fun Friday story. This is the second part to "Hello Hollywood!" If you have not read that post yet, start there and then continue with this one.

So we left off in Hollywood with the tale of my father's "relationship" (not sure how long it lasted) with Katharine Ross. As I mentioned Katharine used body guards who were former secret servicemen. Specifically they worked for JFK. According to my mom, Paul was a bit obsessed with the Kennedy family (although I guess most Americans were in love with Camelot). In fact, he actually donated money to Kennedy campaigns. This always seemed to shock my mom a bit, she says he was a Republican. Regardless he really wanted to know the dirt on JFK and who better to ask than some of his former bodyguards. So the story goes that Paul asked and asked, but due to confidentiality agreements, the guards would not talk. Finally, my dad decided to take them to a bar on the pier in Manhattan Beach, get them wasted, and then see what they would reveal.

Sure enough it worked! The best story they told was regarding Marilyn Monroe. The former agents stated that the President has guards around him all the time. When the President goes into personal spaces (bedrooms/bathrooms) the guards wait outside. They told my dad that while they never saw the affair, they did see Marilyn go into private rooms in the White House and...... the walls were NOT soundproof!

Happy Friday Everyone!

P.S. Thanks for following the blog! Over 300 viewings so far - no idea if that is a lot in the world of blogging, but it seems like it! Keep speading the word - you never know who might have encountered Paul on their own journey - I mean heck, he once started to sail around the world (seriously, in a sail boat...around the world - who does that? Yup, my dad!)
