Frankie Laine has been resting his voice for the past weeks after a long run with the Palm Springs Follies and resultant inflamed vocal cords. Although he is improving nicely, his doctor has advised him not to sing for another few months. We in Rancho Bernardo wish him a quick recovery, but are devastated that he has to cancel his June 29 performance at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts. We were looking forward to hearing and meeting him.

If you purchased your tickets through an Emergency Preparedness volunteer, you will get your check back when you give him your tickets; he will call you. If you picked up your tickets at the Poway Box Office, just return them and they will credit your card or return your money. If the Box Office is holding your tickets, just call them at (858) 748-0505 and they will credit your card. If you have any questions, call Jim Harmon at 451-9550 or Ralph Stewart at 487-4962. We are so sorry to have to do this, and can only hope that Frankie makes a full recovery and will be singing again soon. Remember to tune into the Padres game on Saturday, June 17 at 1:05 p.m. to watch Frankie throw out the ceremonial first pitch.
