Do you remember Jane Froman? This November 10th, members of her fan club, "The Fromanettes," will gather in Columbia, Missouri for a gala centennial celebration to honor their idol.

My good friend, Deena Meiner, has been a member of her fan club for over 50 years. Back in
1952, when Deena was 12 years old, she and a few friends went to the Roxy Theater in New York City to see "With a Song in My Heart," the biography of Jane Froman.
Jane was the courageous singer of the 1930s and '40s who was injured in a plane crash while on a USO tour. Jane's fans stuck by her through her ordeals of surgery and bouts of depression. Fans contributed to her Foundation for Emotionally Disturbed Children and continue to support her causes.
SAY IT WITH MUSIC, The Life and Legacy of Jane Froman, , written by Barbara Seuling, will be published November 10th, by Boxing Day Books, IL,
