While cycling along Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, Johnnie Ray is approached by a fan and asked for an autograph. 'He smilingly consented,' notes the local Beachcomber magazine, 'but demanded the reciprocal favor of a kiss. When his young admirer became visibly embarrassed, the singer agreeably withdrew the stipulation, much to many onlookers' amusement. Last seen, Johnnie was pedaling down the boulevard, while his blushing fan made off rapidly in the other direction holding tightly to her cherished autograph.'
