Some of you older L. A. studio cats may know this one. 
Mendez Trivia Question #5: In 1939, Mendez joined the MGM orchestra. He played second to Manny Klein that year. What well known trumpeter retired that second chair spot so Mendez could move in?

OK, Ole.....you get the prize! Correctomundo!!
About a year later, Manny Klein was drafted into the Army, so Mendez moved up to First Chair at MGM. Who replaced him on Second Chair? (This one is NOT in the book, ha ha.....  )
