The 10,000th Martini Ring - What's Your Favorite NPC Memory?

When long-time member Joe Sutherland was invited to join the Club, he was a guest at the bar one evening, where he met former NPC President Frank Holeman.

Sutherland recalls:

When I first met Frank Holeman at the old Press Club bar in '79, I think it was, Frank had on an interesting ring. I asked him what it was. Before he could answer, someone at the bar joked: "That's Frank's Press Club ring. He got that for his 10,000th martini."

Frank didn't skip a beat. With that great North Carolina accent he said:

"That's right son, and I've got three more at home."
