Celebrating Icons of the

50’s

“If you drink don`t drive. Don`t even

putt.”-Dean MArtin

“If it's true that men are such beasts, this must account for the

fact that most women are animal

lovers.”-Doris Day

“I was never encouraged to do it and I played the

accordion, which I hated. I wish I had taken piano

because I definitely would have written more songs of

my own, but I didn't.”-Connie Francis

“The important things are children, honesty, integrity

and faith.”-Andy Williams
