She'll be searching for Peewee Maynard photos

That's Ardis on the bass, playing guitar
Stan stopped by to see legendary "Baby Doll" girl band lead singer and professional wrestler Ardis Wells yesterday during his visit to see his mother at the Edgewater Vista in Alexandria. We posted a note here recently from Elizabeth in Owatanna who said her Dad played steel guitar in a band with Ardis back in the 50s.
The band was called "The Dakota Roundup Gang" and she was hoping to get find pictures of her Dad -- now 84 -- back in his scuffling youth.
Ardis is 95 now. She's laid up with a bum leg at the moment, but, sure enough, she recalled Pee Wee Maynard without prompting, and promised to look through her stuff for a nice photograph, as soon as she's mended and back in her own room.
Use this blog's search box to find the original 2008 post about Ardis and a video with her singing.
