From an interview with Pat Murphy conducted by Harold McMillan: [on successful business owners] "They don't come along that often. You had at that time, you had Charlie Gilden, you had right next door at the Oak Tree, uh, not next door. Up on 12th St. you had George Nichols. George Nichols ran several very successful businesses. He ran the Oak Tree Cafe. He opened the Oak Tree and was very successful. And you had Valle Cannon who helped, well who took over when Johnny Holmes went to Alaska. Valle Cannon ran a very good business there at the Victory."
