My maternal grandfather was an instructor at West Point at the time. I'm sure my mother (who would have been 14) and her sister (who was 18) would have both been in attendance.

Their older brother, who was 22 and in England with the Army, ended up working with many of the names on that program as he ended up an actor and musician in NYC from 1949-1980.

Thanks for sharing.

No.. Thank you for sharing.. please provide more Info if u can.

On another snote.

It is the Original Broadway opening cast. Oklahoma appeared in March 43 and ran until 1948.

The cast in the playbill is the same as the opening one in NYC.. at the St. JAMES theater on 44th Street.


Oh. My word.. This is Bambi Linn who performed opening in NYC and at West Point in 43.



I am on a phone, but will do way more research at home on computer in a few days...
