From left: Ernest Kloeble, joined by (a cook who I believe is Erich, not a La Jolla Town Council President wearing an apron), and life partner, Al Williams, on the right. I began a 20 year restaurant career at the Marine Room and Rheinlander Haus in 1977. Ernest Kloeble was very supportive of my calligraphy business, and while working for Al and Ernie from 1977 to the closing of the restaurant in 1982, I was responsible for the hand-lettered menus, signs, and party invitations, as well as my work as a waiter. Al and Ernie were very generous to the entire staff. As a struggling college student, I was able to eat two staff meals at each shift, and I would often drop by for some apple strudel "mit schlag" on my way to the beach to go windsurfing! Employees of the Rheinlander also enjoyed a complimentary beer in the bar at the end of each shift. Who does that nowadays?
