Neat. I am not familiar with this fan magazine, but Pat Smith's story of seeing all seven Miami shows on August 3-4, 1956 is engrossing. The $10.50 she spent would work out to about $90.00 today, a sizable amount for a teenager. I wonder if Pat is still with us today. If so, I hope she is doing well.

BTW, the photo on the second page is not from "JULY 1956" but actually taken during his appearance at Lakewood's Polk Theater two days after Pat saw him in Miami, on Monday, August 6, 1956.
