Obviously a piece from the voluminous Carey estate which has been recycled on the market for years (fortunate for us--lots of interesting material contained within). When this piece originally hit the auction block, Dreyfuss' signature was hardly worth the paper it was printed on. Funny how things have changed. It still bothers me that Dreyfuss was inducted; I can't make any sense of it!
I knew a fellow named Howdy Groskloss who spoke very highly of Dreyfuss. Howdy got his start in baseball due to his father being close to Dreyfuss. Groskloss loved to play ball, but was also interested in pursuing a career in medicine. Hearing this, Dreyfuss actually encouraged Howdy to go the way of higher learning, even offering to pay for his tutelage. Groskloss eventually became a highly respected OB/GYN, serving as professor emeritus at a Florida university, and lived to be 100. I really haven't learned that much about Dreyfuss, but this particular story speaks volumes about the man.
