This is a panoramic photo of the Arnold, Schwinn & Co, dinner party held on June 22, 1952 at the Los Angeles Biltmore Bowl. Howie`s parents, Leo Sr. and RosaBelle Cohen are in the photo, sitting at a table with another Schwinn Authorized Dealer, Roy Teller and his wife (I think her first name was Lucille). As I look closely at this photo I can recognize some of the other attendees; Carl Barnes of Harry`s Bicycle Store in San Bernardino, . . . A LITTLE HISTORY; The distributor for Schwinn Bikes & Parts at the time was the Harry Wilson Sales Agency. In later years Bob Wilson took over as president, Kirk Beal was general manager & Ray Head was sales manager. Bill and Jack Ellis (brothers) worked in customer service and shipping. Bill Flannelly was the Schwinn Factory representative; he and Kirk were at our home for dinner on a few occasions.
