from
Wikipedia
When the NCS started, Rube Goldberg, Russell Patterson and Bob Dunn had become very friendly with a lot of actors.
Goldberg had even done a couple of movies and Dunn was on early TV doing a program called Quick on the Draw.
When I joined, they had what they called a Shepherd — after all, the meetings were at the Lambs Club — who was the president, Billy Gaxton.
What was so nice was that even though he was much older, he just talked to me like a fellow professional.
At that first meeting there was Al Capp, Walt Kelly, Alex Raymond, Ernie Bushmiller, Milton Caniff, all of them just sitting there, big as life.
To me, it was unreal that so many legends were just standing around talking shop and gossip with each other.
