![]() Finaly, John settled down in Bisbee, AZ where I understand he passed away 10-15 years ago. Crazy me, I said "why not." Cutting to the chase, things didn't go well, John''s new girl friend went back east and he was off to the Island of San Andres in the Caribean where Helen who bought the Fat Black Puss圜at from him was living. We stayed in touch and John was in Santa Barbara and asked me if I wanted to join him in a new venture. The next time I saw him, his wife returned to France and after the divorce and he was going to California with a new young lady to start anew. I moved back to the US in Detroit but I saw John a couple of times in New York in his wife and we would get together for a drink and eats. After a few months, John decided to return to the United States and was then living in New York around the beginning of 1975. ![]() I was in Amsterdam n the summer of 1974 walking down the straat when who do I run into but John Mitchell and his new bride., living in Amsterdam and working in a meat factory. I ended up in Frankfurt, Germany for a few months and then on to Amsterdam. At some point, I decided to leave Spain and head up north. He met a young French girl around then and I didn't see him as much any more. John continued to live upstairs from the bar so we saw each other every day. At some point, John leased the business to a English fellow Ray who hired me to run it for him. I they went to work for Mitchell at Figero's. I worked at the Cat until Helen sold the bar to Ty Harden who brought Bunny from London to run his bar. Helen was the owner and John Mitchell owned the Figero next door. I traveled around Europe and Spain for 6 months or so and then came back TTown and began tending bar at The Fat Black Puss圜at in the Carihuela. As far as I know, it remained shut for about 3-4 years before anyone else was allowed to open there again. ![]() I tended bar at Harry's Bar in downtown TTown until May 1972 when the police came in and shut it down. I lived in Torremmolinos from late 1971 to mid 1974. ![]()
