Rick Hi Al! Thanks for your support … as far as the incredible stories about me … don’t believe everything you hear … I need to hear these stories to confirm or deny the truth to them (you know how people like to exaggerate! I feel a close camaraderie with you because I have tremendous respect for a fellow Comedy Club owner.

In my sister’s Shelley Ackerman’s memory … and my memory of sleeping in the coat room at age 3 while my sister worked because I couldn’t be by the bar. You also gave me my 1st tickets and backstage passes to Pat Benetar at MSG. Great memories… You made a life changing difference for so many…May you make a full recovery. Much love & healing. 🙏🏼❤️ I found this of my sister and Big Richie!

Rick Dear Anonymous, Shelly was quite a special lady, she not only sang but her banter in-between songs were always very funny… she was very much a part of the Catch family … I love that you slept in the coat room at 3 years old (ha) …. you’re lucky that Penny, the coat room gal didn’t give you away to one of the customers for a bigger tip! This is all a wonderful story. Thanks for your kind words and support. I LOVE the photo❣️xox 💞 Rick
