Perry Como is always a favorite.

around — Jim Spanarkel, Bruce Bell and
Mike Gminski.
The local celebrities included Pat
Patterson of WQDR radio and WRDU-
TV (Channel 28) who introduced WRAL-
TV (Channel 5) weatherman Bob
DeBardelaben and noted that
"DeBardelaben spelled backwards is
'Mississippi.'"
Supporting cast
But to make an event such as the
Children's Classic a success, you've got to
have a lot of other people in addition to
the celebrities.
They've never worn numbers on
Sunday afternoon TV, never starred on
Broadway, never headlined in Vegas. Nor
were they filmed by the ABC camera
crew that came with David Hartman, or
featured in the abundant coverage by
local TV and newspapers.
Yet, like the celebrities, they donated
their time to help raise money to help
Duke heal children.
To make it happen
Numerous volunteers, many from
Duke and from the Liggett Group, had
been at work for as long as a year to be
sure that when 10:30 a.m.. May 26, got
here, there would be at least one celebrity
plus four other golfers at every tee, with
sufficient golf balls, score cards, tees,
refreshments, etc. It all required
individual attention to more details than
even Jerry Neville could list off the top of
his head.
Neville, the classic's executive director,
is still wrapping up details of this year's
event.
But you can bet that 1979 is already on
his mind.
From the kitchens of the stars..
The celebrities, players, volunteers and friends of the Duke Children's Classic
have assembled and published over 350 taste-tempting recipes in the 1978 Classic
Cookbook.
The cookbook, which is sprinkled liberally with original artwork from pediatrics
patients at Duke, includes recipes that range from international gourmet to down-
home country cooking. Featured are recipes from the kitchens of the stars,
including a fruit cocktail cake from Margo Jurgensen (Mrs. Sonny), a shrimp mold
salad froni Joan Ford (Mrs. Whitey), and a mouth-watering recipe for black-eyed
peas from, you guessed it, Chet Atkins.
The attractive 200-page book is available by mail from the Children's Classic, Box
2975, for $6.95.
Proceeds from the cookbook, like the classic itself, will go to support the
Department of Pediatrics in its fight against children's diseases.
