Morey Amsterdam and his wife Kay Patrick were friends with Phyllis Diller. It seems the Amsterdams adored Phyllis, writing her whenever they were out of town. I'm not sure
how Phyllis felt about the Amsterdams though, since these cards are for sale, and not by Phyllis and Phyllis is still alive. Wonder how these slipped through her fingers? Maybe after Morey died, she threw them out in a fit of rage? Morey had always claimed that he had written the big Andrew Sisters wartime hit, Rum and Coca-Cola. Morey had kind of lied, or maybe just gotten confused. He'd been on Trinidad during the war and "heard" verses of a seemingly native song and took these verses as his own. Someone else had actually written them, one Lord Invader.

Ooops, left this one out by accident. Those Amsterdams just LOVED writing to P.D.
