- Printed on assignment sheet: "Story or idea: John W. 'Flossie Mae' Raiford, an employee of The Varsity for more than 50 years, is retiring Friday July 16, if he can ever stop signing autographs. Famous for his flamboyant hats and wild menu platter he's been pushing nekkid steaks and walking dogs at the Varsity since he left the Pig N Whistle in the 30s. He works only Friday and Saturday 1-2, catch him at work." Caption: "Veteran car hop John W. 'Flossie Mae' Raiford takes pride in serving chili dogs, rings, and Varsity Oranges for the last 50 years to people like local resident Paul Grose in his red pickup truck."
