Lena by Willie
Note to Bill Diehl — Here’s the William B./Lena Horne piece from the Nov. 1958 issue of Radio Mirror magazine you discovered during one of your flea market visits. I told you it would be posted, and true to my word, here it is, only three years and ten months after you sent in the piece at 4:00 p.m., May 11, 2010. ECB

Happy Birthday Jooolie! It’s #84
Happy Birthday, Julius LaRosa.
Bill Diehl, seen above with Julie in a late 90’s conversation, sent word today(1/2/14) by phone that Julie, on his 84th birthday, is recovering from a fractured ankle. “Otherwise,” says Julie, “I’m in OK health.” Says Bill, “I reminded him that my wife, Lorry, met his wife, Rory, back in the 1950’s when Rory was Perry Como’s secretary, and Lorry was president of the Perry Como fan club in New York.(and Julie was Perry’s summer TV replacement.) Julie recalled that when he told Como that he was engaged to Rory and gave her a ring and they’d soon be married, Julie quoted Perry as saying, ‘you (bleep), now you’ve taken my wonderful secretary.’ Julie and Rory have been married 57 years”
