From the Virginian-Pilot newspaper, 3 Sept 2007:
...Nolan Fine is 51, a trim guy with close-cropped, graying hair who looks exactly like a retired pro basketball referee should. He spent 16 years with the National Basketball Association - he called fouls on Shaq and Michael Jordan - and has a massive NCAA championship ring from his years officiating college.
Fine's sports memorabilia collection: three items.
Fine's Jerry Lewis memorabilia collection: 400 items.
"You don't think I'm wacko," he said, a smile hovering, hazel eyes dancing, "do you?"
There are movie posters and scripts, a signed 1954 contract with Martin and Lewis ($205,000 for Dean, $295,000 for Jerry) and Lewis' cowboy boots, in not-so-Wild West hues of pink and turquoise, from the 1956 flick "The Pardners."
And Dean and Jerry figurines, a Dean and Jerry pocket watch ("It's stuck at 5 'til 3," Fine said. "I'm not sure if that's a.m. or p.m."), Dean and Jerry playing card sets ("Never been opened," Fine said, running a finger along the cellophane), Dean and Jerry cufflinks and puppets and coloring books and salt and pepper shakers.
JERRY LEWIS (March 16, 1926 - August 20, 2017), nicknamed "The King of Comedy", was a comedian, actor, singer, filmmaker and humanitarian, who appeared in over sixty films and other media, from the Martin & Lewis partnership with singer Dean Martin to on his own as a soloist. In addition to his work behind the scenes as director, producer and screenwriter, Lewis helped develop and popularize "video assist", the closed-circuit apparatus enabling film directors to see what had been shot without waiting for developed film footage. He raised awareness and a billion dollars for muscular dystrophy while as national chairman of the Muscular Dystrophy Association for 55 years.
The Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) is an American organization that works to support people with neuromuscular diseases. Founded in 1950 by Paul Cohen, who lived with muscular dystrophy, it works to combat neuromuscular disorders by funding research, providing medical and community services and educating health professionals and the general public and contributed more than $1 billion toward researching therapies and cures, helping to fund the identification of the dystrophin gene responsible for Duchenne muscular dystrophy as well as prospective treatments. Renowned for its annual Labor Day televised event, The Jerry Lewis Telethon, aired from 1966 to 2010, it was hosted by comedian and actor Jerry Lewis, who also served as its national chairman from 1956 to 2011.
