DANIEL ZEIDMAN - 30 years young!
January 20, 1998: We love the food at MARYLOU'S RESTAURANT and I guess we love KEN MARTIN too because he became our newest Ace Detective by coming up with the best (albeit boring) answer for our wild night of mayhem and murder for those wacky folks at J.J. KENNY!
January 23, 1998: It really was MURDER ON BROADWAY: the press were there (QUEENS RESIDENT and METRO TV) and all the stars; but only RITA MARTINI became our Ace Detective by figuring out there were 6 killers that night at NEIDERSTEIN'S!
