Dear Myron,
I am so sorry to hear of the death of Loretta. But most sorry that I never phoned her, when I frequently thought of her. I cherish the memories of all the times we went to rehearsals and performances at Franke Park Musicals and what a beautiful voice she had.
Love and God bless, Carol Tancey Kelty
