OODFRBV ALUMNI: Third of A Series The Mariners: from left, Tom Lockard, Nat Dickerson, Martin Karl, Jim Lewis. tie Never Asked. Them Back... The Mariners Wonder Why They’re ‘Ex-Friends’ After 8'/i Years Arthur Godfrey had been building up to his most recent wave of firings for at least six months before he lowered the boom on Marion Marlowe, The Mariners and Haleloke. So, at least, say The Mariners, who claim it was all part of a planned campaign on Godfrey’s part to weed out the mem¬ bers of his cast he thought had out¬ lived their usefulness. “For some time,” report the four ex-U.S. Coast Guardsmen, “the whole cast had the feeling that somebody would go. There was an immistakable undercurrent on the show. “Two weeks before he fired us, Arthur complained to his Wednesday night audience, ‘Looks like I’m all alone here tonight. I guess everybody is out making money on his own.’ And yet he told us that same afternoon not to come to the show, that we could have the night off. That’s why we all had a fair¬ ly good idea that somebody was going to be fired. But we honestly didn’t be¬ lieve it would be us.” continued 13
