I agree.Sennes never had any intention of becoming associated with show business while growing up in Warren, Ohio. He had already planned his future as a dentist. However, while attending Western Reserve University, he began earning spending money by booking bands for various club dates. Suddenly, all thoughts of pulling teeth vanished. Among his show business discoveries was a relaxed Italian barber with a pleasing voice, who was hired by Sennes for the grand sum of $35 a week. The barber chair attended by Perry Como was suddenly vacated. Another young Italian was working as a blackjack dealer in Ohio when Sennes pegged him at $25 a week, and Dean Martin was on his way. While operating the old Hollywood Gardens, Sennes detected the spark of a star in one of the beautiful chorus girls, and Betty Grable was launched on a spectacular career. Even now, while totally involved in the 10th edition of the Lido, Sennes is constantly searching for new mountains to conquere Those who know him are sure that the mountains will never be the same once Sennes applies his personal form of magic. ### -20-
