The owners of La Gallette in '57-'58 were Bob and Paula Borsodie I don't recall if they still owned it in '61. I'm not a singer, but I did read some poetry there in '58. I remember feeling VERY grown-up, being a college (fresh)man with a beard reading poetry at a coffee house, when Paula looked at me through the gloom and said "Aren't you Lennie Berger's boy from Naugatuck?" Turns out, she'd been my dentist's assistant when I was 8.
