My dad, Bill Gifford has worked with Frank Gorey for several years at Angels Stadium. Frank was Lucille Ball's chauffeur for 34 years. The stories! The show "I Love Lucy" was going to be making a stop the Segerstrom Center for the Arts and Frank wanted to see it. I arranged for tickets to the show and a visit backstage to meet the cast. Usually those visits are 5 minutes long. In this case, they stood and talked to Frank for 45 minutes. They had as much fun listening to his stories, as he had telling them.
