There are so many facts combined with puns I don't know what to believe!
And I only realized just now that mikee and Mikie are different people.

Yes - there are photos from the 50s of Capitol meetings, and he's there. Also, several mentions in Billboard in the late 50s/early 60s. Real guy, with a really unfortunate name.  Here y'go: http://norimuster.com/history/capitolpeople.html |

Dick Swett was actually elected as a U.S. congressman from New Hampshire. He served in the 90s.
His wife, Katrina Swett, is now running for congress as well.

Wrong. Mr Haywood Chablomey. Nah, Haywood retired when the market went soft. That's when they brought Alice in to stiffen up the resolve of the sales force. |

I'm sorry this may appear immature but... that name 'Dick Rising'. To think there actually is guy walking around called that!!
Considering how long ago it was, I don't think he's walking around now, and if he is, people are yelling "ghost", not calling him Dick. |

from Billboard Magazine Jul 17, 1965:
"THREE JOB CHANGES AT CAP. INTL. ...The other two changes involve Richard Rising, appointed Sales Director...Rising is slated to return here from Paris in the fall. With Capitol since 1953, he has been international marketing manager overseas for two years..."
