I knew Annette in the '50s in Long Beach. We met in our junior high school orchestra where she played violin and I played flute and Piano. I heard her sing several times when she was in the 9th grade, and I was in 7th, and was totally blown away by her incredible voice at her young age. Thanks to my parents, I was already a huge opera fan, and, as an impressionable 12-year old, after listening to Annette sing, was convinced that I, too, could follow my own young dream of being a great musician, if only people would stop telling me I was too young to know what I wanted. What did they know? Annette certainly seemed to know what she wanted and was doing a very good job of going for it, and, besides, was only two years older than I! I ultimately got my career in music - as a very good and continuously employed musician, though never, alas, in the "great" category! It's fulfilled me though, and I've never regretted any of it for an instant. I'd love to hear from you, if you have the time, and would ask you to tell me how Annette's life and career progressed. I wish I had kept in touch with her, but I was pathetically shy and timid teen, so never was brave enough to try to contact her after we went on to attend different high schools.Thanks so muchFrancie GrossVallejo CA Hello, Reid,

I ultimately got my career in music – as a very good and continuously employed musician, though never, alas, in the “great” category! It’s fulfilled me though, and I’ve never regretted any of it for an instant.

I’d love to hear from you, if you have the time, and would ask you to tell me how Annette’s life and career progressed. I wish I had kept in touch with her, but I was pathetically shy and timid teen, so never was brave enough to try to contact her after we went on to attend different high schools.Thanks so muchFrancie GrossVallejo CA
