About the time I was covering wrestling at Laurel Garden in the late 1930s,
among the frequenters on Laurel Garden fight nights was a Met Life insurance
agent, Herman Roth, who would attend with his two young sons, Philip and

Pulitzer Prize winning novelist--Philip Roth--who would recall his Laurel
Garden visits in his book tribute to his father "Patrimony."
