Ethel Merman Cenntenial 2/25/08 — Page 2

That is very good. Your family new her in the theatre and my family new her at the Salon. I only saw her performances in The Annie Get Your Gun Revival at The Lincoln Center and every single one of her concerts including Mary Martin Ethel Merman together on broadway after the Annie Get Your Gun Revival. I was talking about PalJoey (I dont like him very much) who probably doesn't even know her. I know several people who were good friends with Ethel and had family in her short roles and escorts as a matter of fact. My brother in law knows Tony Cointruea.
