Honeymoon at Hilton's


My wife and I were married June 27, 1953 and spent our honeymoon at Ted Hilton's (which became Frank Davis Resorts, which is now Sunrise).

Truly a memorable occasion. One unforgettable happening: I developed a toothache, and Mr. Hilton personally took me into a dentist for relief. He said that no one should be uncomfortable on their honeymoon. What a man!
