On June 20, 1965, Sinatra organized a ‘summit meeting’ in St. Louis as a fundraiser for one of his favorite charities, Dismas House, the first halfway house for ex-convicts. The special was originally televised to a select group of theaters, in a precursor of a pay-per-view event. Fellow Rat Pack member Joey Bishop had hurt his back and was replaced as host by Carson.
