Ms. June Wilkinson was indeed at Pogue's party, though she came late so BK missed her. Sooo many people were at the "do", that it seems to have been one of the best yet. It must have been because I didn't get to sit down until late...I was answering doors, getting folks drinks (I always get them their first one, after that they're on their own and free to raid the refrigerator), seeing folks off...I haven't taken a head count yet, but it were a lot of folks.
Ginny, when I was in High School in Northern Kentucky, our school, Highlands, sang every year with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. The Orchestra would come to our high school auditorium and do a concert with us. It was then conducted by one Max Rudolf. But Erich Kunzel, then a very young man, was associate conductor (or whatever they called them back then)and held the baton at many of those concerts. He and our music teacher, Robert Knauf, became life-long friends. One year our choir along with a bunch of other Greater Cincinnati high schools and local choirs performed with the Cincinnati Symphony at the Music Hall under the direction of Robert Shaw, director of the then-famous Robert Shaw Chorale.
