Cincinnati's Hometown Son

Articles from a Cincinnati newspaper make it clear that Tom Towers grew up in that city.  Also of interest is a reference to Dick Williams, another member of the newspaper industry who may have played his own very brief role in the movie, though this is not really clarified, the way the article is worded.  In a companion item a day earlier from the Cincinnati Enquirer, the newspaper honors Towers by including a photo from the movie (a better quality picture will be found among our earliest blog entries), but simultaneously degrades the entire effort when the motion picture is incorrectly titled as "U.F.I." with a short caption which should have easily been caught by an editor before -30- (Sorry, but I just had to show off my now irrelevant newspaper knowledge:  -30- was once a newspaper code number representing the end of a reporter's story.  Actually, there exists an old Jack Webb movie entitled "-30-").
