My first character since high school was that of Tessie Tura in Gypsy, and I recall the tears I choked back as our Mama Rose sang his music. Anyone Can Whistle is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever enjoyed singing. Thank you Mr. Arthur Laurents for what you gave to the world and to me.

It is slways sad to loose someone even if they have been ill. But, it is good to feel happy that our work has contributited to the happiness of others. I hope it brings peace to know that God has promised "No resident will say I am sick."

Sincerely,
