Mr. Rubenstein. No. I never cared much for the South.
Mr. Griffin. Do you recall in the latter part of 1949 working in Ripley, Ohio?
Mr. Rubenstein. Yes.
Mr. Griffin. What did you do there?
Mr. Rubenstein. I was a bartender for a friend of mine, Bob Knoff. He owned a tavern, the Riviera Cafe at Front and Main Streets, and Bob said to me, I came down to visit him and he said “What are you doing?” And I said, “Bumming around, making a few bucks selling items.” He said, “I need a bartender. Help me out for a while.” I said, “OK.” So I stayed with him, I don’t know, for about a year, about a year or so, about a year, I think.
Mr. Griffin. 6 months.
Mr. Rubenstein. All right, 6 months. I don’t remember. 1949. Then I went back to Chicago. I fixed a few things for him.
Mr. Griffin. What did you do after you worked for Mr. Knoff?
Mr. Rubenstein. What year was that, 1949?
Mr. Griffin. 1949, 1950.
