126 - Opening Night

Opening Night.  Rarely is it the best performance, but there's definately something special about it.  Tonight it was even more special because many of the family the show is about were in the audience.  Teddy Trager Key (the main character) was there on the front row next to her sister Merle (who also married an American service man and came to America).  At the reception after the show, they all had name tags on with their relationship to either Teddy or Frankie.

In the first pic:  Our "young" Teddy, the real Teddy Trager Key, and our "adult" Teddy in the show.  In the second pic, adult Teddy, Australian Mum, and American Mama.  Or:  Teddy with her Mum and Mama-in-law.  :-)

9 more performances.  It's not enough though.

TTFN!
