The Assembly Hall turns 49

'I am the Assembly Hall. So good of you to visit.'
I always thought it was funny how Mr. Sinatra would not sit down.
His requests were few: a modest spread, just cheese and crackers to snack. My gift to him was a white Illini jacket. He thanked us, saying, "Usually all I get is warm beer."
A charmer, that man. Mr. Sinatra dressed, you see, in my spare changing room. And over the hour before he took the stage, he stood.
