Thank you for the fond memory of taking your picture with me at the Dallas Sheridan in 1963 when you invited me to attend you Dallas Conducting Debut playing and conducting the Dallas Symphony and introducing me to Mr. & Mrs. Steinway at your after concert party. I have kept the picture of you and I at the piano and you treated me as if you knew me your entire life. I am now 81 years old and 21 when I met you.

I first heard Van Cliburn play in the 2 story wood frame Music School at Centenary College where I as a young teen ager was studying piano at the time in the early-mid 1950's. I have thrilled to and been inspired by him and his incredible musical gifts ever since. I still play the piano. I was so delighted to see him at the midnight Christmas service at Holy Cross Episcopal Church on several occasions. Sally Fox

I saw Van Cliburn in Chicago, a few months after he won the Tchaikovsky prize. Over 100,000 people were there (such a crowd has never been there since). He was remarkable. And he treated us to five encores!
