2.

        About the time I was covering wrestling at Laurel Garden in the late 1930s,
among the frequenters on Laurel Garden fight nights was a Met Life insurance 
agent, Herman Roth, who would attend with his two young sons, Philip and 
Sandy.  His son Philip  would later evolve into an internationally-acclaimed 
Pulitzer Prize winning novelist--Philip Roth--who would recall his Laurel 
Garden visits in his book tribute to his father "Patrimony."
