In 1953 Del Brault (Cardinal Tap Room, 806 Buffalo St.), an alumnus of U.W. Madison, returns from his trip to the 39th Rose Bowl where his Badgers had lost to the USC Trojans 7-0 on Thursday, January 1st. At the North Western depot on Monday, January 5th his welcoming committee presented him with a crying towel and soft music. To Del’s left is Gordon Hall, and to his right is Pat Meyer (Pat’s Tap Room, 216 N. 10th). That is my dad, Joseph Kazda, Jr. playing the cornet.

Del’s Cardinal Lounge – 1960’s. This is Wally Fritsch and the ladies from the hair salon next door, playing a trick on Del by posting this sign in the front window during Del’s absence. The Jim in the sign refers to Jim Kiesner who worked as a bartender for many years, not only at Del’s, but also places such as Art Braunnel’s Bowling Alley & Bar. This from Jim’s son, Kenn: “When Jimmy tended at Art Braunnels during and just after the war (until 1952), Art had to many times bring in two keepers to replace him. Wally & Jim were the best one-two bartenders in the business. We spent many days there, including around Christmas when we came in for the Cardinal’s famous “Tom & Jerry’s”. I was at Brault’s at times watching the batter being made and hurried down to the bar.” Photo courtesy of Gwen Brault.
