(For us, fond past memories were rekindled: during the summer of l956, I toured with the group on a U.S.O. tour of Japan and Korea; and in 1958, both Jean and I sang with the group on a summer tour of Germany.)

Although we did not get cake in either city, both perfor- mances were solid and well received by their respective alumni clubs.
