note at the Chicago Money Expo 5-7 years ago. Here's the skinny.... Across the ladies hair, going from 9 o'clock towards
noon, is the name Anthony Caputo. Beneath that, starting at the "y" of Anthony, begins the signature of Fred Astaire.Next,
dead center of note, is the French word "LE". The 2nd signature below that is Mickey Rooney. And the icing on the cake,
in the lower left, across the ladies' chest is the name Benjamin Baron. Underneath that, going from 9 o'clock to 4 o'clock,
and it starts a little to the left, is General Omar P. Bradley. Several dates coincide with USO shows. I was able to get a
little info from the USO, but not much."
