Dr. Bruce's two assistants: Lynn something and a very helpful young lady
whose name I never heard.

If I may put in a personal comment:

This is typical of the city. What is touted as a draw to the rest of the
world as a major reason to visit this city? Jazz. What is harder and harder
to find unless you know someone who knows some hole-in-the-wall where there
might be a band you would care to hear? Jazz. This town allows to decay, or
actively destroys, everything it can which makes it different from any other
medium sized city in the USA.

Another example: The city charges $3 /hour at its parking meters. The City
Council wanted to raise more money, so they extended to cut-off time from 5
PM to 7 PM. What they did not do was make provisions for reduced charges for
people who work in the tourist service industry downtown. And public
transportation, which used to be excellent, is now a bad joke. So, if your
waiter seems to be overloaded, or there is a long wait for a bellman, you
know at least one reason why many service businesses can't keep staff.

Really bad news about the reduction in staff. Do you know who is staging on?
