The other thing was that there was somebody who worked in the garage with me who may still be alive. Eddie Adler was his name and he lived on the Lower East Side as did I. I lived on 10^th Street or 8^th Street between Avenue C and D, $10 a month was my flat, and he lived nearby on a street that I think was called Szold Place, S-Z-O-L-D, Szold Place. He was married and he drove a cab also for George's Garage in Harlem, and since we lived near each other when we turned in our cabs at night, well, at 4.00 in the morning I think it was, he was so rattled by this driving because people sometimes jumped out from cars and you, obviously, didn't want to hit them and didn't, but he was very rattled and he would always ask me to walk his dog with him, which I did. I think he was married, but I don't recall ever meeting his wife but I met his dog, and we would go for a walk and he would calm down from 8 or 12 hours of driving. I was perfectly all right, but very much awake.

And there was a place in my building, I think I lived at 394 East 8^th Street, I think, and there was a bagel bakery in the basement and I would go in after walking the dog with Eddie and flip quarters with the bakers for the bagels. And if I was right I got four bagels I think, and if I was wrong I think I had to pay extra, double or something like that. And it worked out so that sometimes I got bagels and sometimes I didn't, or sometimes I got them free. I don't remember any longer, but they were very good bagels and it was one of the last bagel bakeries in New York. It was in the basement of my building.
