Hi Wendy! I am in the beginnings of writing my grandfather's biography. Do you remember any stories that your mother may have told you about a secret cabin that celebrities would sneak off to around 1930-1940? If so, that was my grandfather's log mansion in Wisconsin. Family folklore is that Sheila was hounding Fitzgerald about where he and his group would sneak off to, and he told her, "if you promise to never write of it again, I will take you there" and hence their love affair was fueled with the help of Doc and Chatty - the hosts of the secret cabin getaway. Thank you for any information you have. All I have is a letter from Gene Autry discussing it.
