A Playboy reunion

I'm amazed. Old friends from the Seventies are beginning to contact me after finding my website - Frances Lynn on Google. The latest friend to e-mail me is Val Lownes, son of Victor Lownes who used to be the head of Playboy in London. I've known Val since I was a teenger. A gang of us used to visit him in his dad's house in Connaught Square. The butler loved us and always fed us big meals, but never fed the bunnies. Val helped run the Playboy here in London, then was made the Resident Director for the new Playboy Casino in Nassau. After it closed down in 1985, he returned to Chicago, his birth place. It was so nostalgic to hear from him. We used to hang out together a lot in the late Seventies.
