June 17, 1969 In the past few months, we have experienced sit-ins, sleep-ins, love-ins, and quite a variety of similar demonstrations or expressions of feelings. Tonight, we have a lunch-in. Seems that for some 14 years, the Grant Grill has exercised its privilege of limiting its patronage to men only until after three o’clock each afternoon. They’ve been successful, despite several attempts by members of the fair sex to break down this male barrier. Today, seven women finally succeeded. It was pure irony that Helen Pain, one of the leaders of the group of seven, should have a flat tire around the corner from the grill, and George Nelson rushed to the assistance of a lady in distress. But nothing was to stop the ladies from their intended destiny…namely to invade the inner sanctum of the Grant Grill during the noontime rush. Maître de Norman Bradley, with his usual aplomb, informed the ladies that they couldn’t remain, would have to abide by the rules, and would be welcomed anytime after three…but the seven ladies were not to be deterred. They selected a comfortable table, were seated and prepared to order. It's at times like this when discretion is the better part of valor. George Lewis asked Maître de Bradley how he felt about all this. Mrs. Pain explained how the ladies felt about it. Former city attorney Ed Butler spoke as a grill patron. If today’s lunch in was to be construed as war, it would appear that the women won the first battle, with hardly a struggle.
