IN THE NEXT SEGMENT OF THE SHOW, WHEN THE GROUP OF WORKERS BEING INTRODUCED ARE SECRETARY, LAWRENCE INTRODUCES HIS LONG TIME ASSISTANT, LOIS LAMONT.
SHE WAS IN MILWAUKEE AND WORKED FOR LAWRENCE UNTIL HE RETIRED IN 1982.
SHE STAYED WITH HIM THROUGH THE ROUGH YEARS WHEN THE BIG BAND ERA WAS COMING TO AN END.
IT WAS WORTH IT BECAUSE SHE SHARED THE GLORY WHEN HE BECAME THE CHAMPAGNE HOST OF TELEVISION.
SHE LIVED IN THE OVER THE OFFICE IN THE EARLY DAYS, BUT LATER SPENT MANY HAPPY YEARS IN THE CHAMPAGNE TOWERS.
RIGHT NEXT-DOOR TO THE GORGEOUS BUILDING ON OCEAN AVENUE AT THE WELK ORGANIZATION OWNED FOR SO MANY YEARS.
MY FAVORITE MEMORY OF LOIS IS WHEN WE WOULD BE OUT ON THE ROAD AND I'D SEE HER WAY UP ON THE CATWALK OF SOME NEAT WEIR A HEADSET ON GIVING CUES TO THE LIGHT OPERATORS.
NOW, THAT IS SOME SECRETARY.
SHE WAS REALLY AFRAID OF HEIGHTS, TOO, SO IT TOOK A LOT OF COURAGE FOR HER TO GET UP THERE.
BUT THAT'S THE KIND OF DEDICATION AND LOYALTY SHE HAD TO LAWRENCE.
AND I'M SO GLAD YOU ALL GET TO MEET HER IN THE NEXT PART OF THE SHOW.
