While I’m waiting for Jim to call me back, I figure I will begin calling around town to beauty shops to see if by chance I can find out some gossip on Ms. Ridlinger. My story is going to be that I want to surprise my girlfriend with a complete spa makeover and I don’t want her to know about it.

Fortunately, on only my fifth call, I hit pay dirt. “This is The Beauty Day Spa, Beth Bryan speaking, how can I help you?”

“Hi, Beth, I’m a friend of Ginny Ridlinger and I wanted to know if by chance she might be a client of yours?”

Beth does not answer immediately but finally says in a cautious sort of way, “And why would you like to know that?”

“Oh, I’m sorry Beth, I’m, you might say, a close friend of hers, and I wanted to get her a gift card for a spa treatment and makeover but I wanted it to be a surprise so I couldn’t ask her where she gets her hair done. What’s your best deal?”

The thought of a big sale loosens her lips. “Oh, you must be that well-off oil guy she’s been telling me about.”

Touchdown! I quickly reply, “Now Beth, we don’t want to start spreading rumors, do we?”

“No sir, what takes place in the beauty salon, stays in the beauty salon. Our best deal and one I know Ginny will love is the CEO Treatment. It runs $450 but worth every penny.”

“Well Beth, that’s the one I want. Where are you located? I’ll stop by tomorrow afternoon to pick it up.”

Beth gives me the address, which I repeat as if I am writing it down, and I remind her not to mention this to Ginny. I now have my answer. Ginny and Von Spineback know each other very well and they were both in the Air Force. So I wonder what the link is between Wilmont Oil & Gas Company and Anchor Hocking.
