RCA and You

[Sandy G]

Elmer Engstrom never received a doctorate, according to what I've read in that WONDERFUL book, "Behind the Tube". But apparently he was very fair & well liked guy. He must have been short in stature, his nickname, used by only a few of his closest friends/associates, was "Shorty". Once at an annual Christmas party, the wife of one of his associates, who had apparently had a pretty good snootful, rushed up to him, put her arms around him, & asked if it was alright if SHE could call him "Shorty" ? Engstrom reportedly told her she had a pretty dress, & the embarrassed husband, grabbed her & pulled her away from Engstrom.
