Hotel Astor New York, N. Y. lVlay 22. 1963 Lt. Col. Thomas Basehart Schofield Barracks Oahu, Hawaii Dear Tom: We attended the opening of the Broadway play 'LFuture Horizonsn in New York City. Since you were unable to attend. we knew you would like to hear what. a big hit the class of '53 made last night, Sally Russell was magnificent as the leady lady. By the way, her very lovely hair style was done by .loanne Tufford and Caroline Begula. her private hair stylists. David lVlacQueen, Kay Thomas, and Bonnie Coler were superb as. her supporting players. The play was taken from a book written by the brilliant author, Margie Groff. Pat. Warner did a fine job on the dramatization. The scenery was elaborately done by the outstanding interior decorator, .lim Barthalow. Many famous critics were present, but naturally we noticed our former classmate, .loan Cunningham. The orchestra was composed of Bill Burky, juice harp, Bob Hall, jug, Gay .lohns, washboard, and Geneva Myers, with her sweet potato. They were directed by Carl Gray. Set directors were Bob Hashman and Dennie Belle. Vocal numbers were presented by t.he famous opera star .loyce Squeak Watson. The lovely costumes were designd by Peggy Kehl and Dorothy Dilly. The very beautiful theatre is owned by Sanders, Kohl, and Graham, Inc. Lighting was operated by Larry Longsworth. Dr. Walter Hannahs and his nurse, Pat lVIcElhaney, were stationed nearby in case of sickness. In looking around, we saw many familiar faces. Sitting in their box were lVIr. and Mrs. James lVIullen CLaura .lean Wilsonj. In the balcony we spied the noted missionary .loy L. Horn, recently returned from her post in South Africa. We also saw three familiar faces who have made a name for themselves in the field of nursing: Shirley Clemens, Marylou Thompson, and Shirley Gep- hart. A party in honor of the play cast was held at the luxurious Trojan Hotel owned by Denny Triplet. The famous coach of Notre Dame, Dick Boe. was present telling his ex- periences as head coach. The outstanding scientist and teacher of physics, Lester Eistein Paulun was telling his theory of working pi down to the nearest hundredth.
