*Click Picture Story #2After the 2000 Bens matzo ball contest , I litery didn't leave my house for nearly a month taking telephone radio and T.V. interviews .as the 2001 contest qualifiers approached I made an appearance at each qualifier as defending champ. a Neighbor of mine said that they read a N.Y. Newsday article about the upcoming contest and it lists Russel Machover (1999) champ as the 2000 defending champ and an interview with Charles Hardy even before he qualified about his thoughts on his chances in the upcoming event, I saw red When I saw the article , why was I omitted from that article as champ and all that i did for Bens Kosher Delicatessen visa vie the month of telephone interviews, I called Steve Haweli of Word Hampton the Public relation firms that Ronnie Dragoon (Bens Deli Owner) hired, Steve Haweli Was as crude and rude as they come , he cursed me out with language as to make a sailor blush, F--ck You put that in your F--ckin Matzo ball pipe a smoke it was his response, what I did for you , You F--in Ingrate . I responded , '' you did nothing for me I get no salary or pay what ever you did you did for Ronnie('' Dragoon The owner of Bens Deli) the next day at 5 am I was at Bens Deli Manhattan for a shoot with Larry Hoff on WPiX 11 N.Y. I told Ronnie That I wont be spoken to in that matter by Hawelli and that if he doesn't straighten Hawelii out he can forget me defending my title ,well that afternoon there was a meeting of the Brain Trust at Ben's , Curtis Sliwa was in attendance I stayed late for the evening qualifier as champ, out exits Haweli and Ronnie dragoon . Hawelli say that to make it up . he will have me on the morning show with Sliwa right before the contest starts . well I was sick all week the antibiotic never worked and I had 102 fever and on my way to to contest i fell on the wet floor on the L.I.R.R. and broke my left index finger * my eating hand. I felt it was obligation to continue with the contest, five minute before the contests was to start , Haweeli calls me to the phone for the on air interview, Curis Sliwa went on to say the jews are finished''no more sons of Moses'' NO more Jewish champs. I was taken aback by him injecting race into the contest, He said it again '' The Jews are finished "were going to have a black champ,Thou I am Jewish I never thought of myself as the Jewish or white Champ I was a champ for all people Its a shame that this was done to me ..enough said ....
