A story from Peter:

When we stayed at the mountain lodge at Brandt Lake, there was a balcony where all the men, with the exception of Herbert Elkins, but including me and Bill Haber, would sleep.

One night as we were getting ready for bed, Lou lit a light.  He said: "I imagine you wonder why I am putting this light on.  It is so I can watch myself fall asleep."

Also, when Lou had too much to drink, he would break out in song.  Rebecca was his favorite tune.
