Bill and Ann Frambach of Mutual 12 remember their courtship in 1949 at UCLA in the Leisure World Theater Club’s new production, “A Valentine Card to Leisure World.” Presented in association with Janice Laine Productions, this short film explores the many aspects of love in LW—from long-married couples to newlyweds, from a grandmother and a grandson to beloved pets. It’s viewable on Superwire 1390, Spectrum Channel 3 or online at Janice Laine YouTube.
