Mr. Hubert. Howard Haynes?
Mr. Armstrong. Yes, but he always did sort of a half job, and so then it got to be where I spent most of the afternoon there just taking phone calls and reservations and things like that, and taking care of all of the buying and things like that.
Mr. Hubert. What do you mean by taking care of the buying?
Mr. Armstrong. Well, taking care of the buying—whatever that had to be bought—whatever stock they needed—no food, just beer.
Mr. Hubert. In other words, as I understand you, as you stayed on longer, you assumed more responsibility?
Mr. Armstrong. Right.
Mr. Hubert. And more duties?
Mr. Armstrong. Right, and they got me to where I was doing the hiring of the waitresses and contacting different peoples about acts and things like that.
Mr. Hubert. Ruby delegated the authority to you to actually employ people, both as waitresses and for acts?
Mr. Armstrong. Well, not actually employ them for acts, but contact them—he already knowed who he wanted and I just contacted certain persons.
