Glennon Travis Swears This on a Stack of Bibles

     Poor, poor, misunderstood, mistreated Glennon Travis.  When he arrived at the hotel "the physical plan and administrative structure of the hotel were in complete dissarray," and the "public areas and shared bathrooms were inundated with drug addicts and others who did not belong at the hotel."  (When did he start exactly?) Nevertheless, he heroically performed his duties, increasing the number of transient rooms from 95 to 107 by throwing artists onto the street and providing employees with uniforms so they wouldn't slog around in their messy street clothes.  In return he was "physically threatened on several occasions and spit on" by the rambunctious ingrates at the Chelsea Hotel!  Despite his constant requests, nobody will pay for an electronic key system, and the loathsome David Elder "effectively lives at the hotel" at no cost and routinely interferes with operations.
     This is all to be found in an affadavit sworn out by Glennon in the ongoing case of BD NY Hotels vs Chelsea 23rd St. Corp.  The courts are in the process of deciding what monetary damages, if any, should be awarded to BD to compensate them for their unceremonious termination.
     Glennon also tells a hilarious story about how David Bard came to the hotel looking for some NY Giants tickets that had been sent to him.  Not finding them in his box, he looked on David Bernstein's desk.  Discovering this highly suspicious activity, Glennon orderd Bard to cease and desist.  So Bard went and got David Elder -- ostensibly in charge at this point -- and they came back and proceeded to search through Bernstein's desk together to look for the tickets.  Once again, Glennon sprung on them and ordered them to stop.  This embarassed Elder, who took Glennon to a public area of the hotel and "stated that he wanted to make it clear that I should remember that I work for him."
    Wow, a real clash of the intellectual titans here folks.  It's like Einstein vs I don't know, Immanuel Kant or somebody.  Later that day, Madame Currie -- er, rather, Marlene Krauss -- called and pretended to sympathasize with Glennon saying "Elder should not have threatened you like that," and also asking him to not to tell anybody from BD about her call. -- Ed Hamilton
