Paul England
Rodgers & Hammerstein Concert - May
2008
Seussical-the musical - June 2007
We are very sad to announce the recent death of
Society member Paul England. Although Paul had only been with the
Society for 2 years, he had quickly integrated with the group and become a
very popular member. He discovered he had a talent to perform and had
been affectionately christened 'On the ball, Paul' by our Musical Director,
because of the accuracy and reliability of his notes, his words and his
moves. He was a friend to everyone and we are all very shocked by
his passing.

The following article appeared
in the Wirral News, asking for identification of 6 'Bathing Beauties'.

The reply identified them as
dancers rehearsing for the 1968 WKLOS production of 'The Boyfriend'
The article unfortunately contained a mistake,
of course. The 4th dancer from the left is Jennifer Kaye.

Jean Bower
Land of Smiles
1962 Jean in
2005
My Fair Lady 2003
We are sad to announce the death of Jean Bower, who was a much-loved
member of the Society.
Jean's first show was 'The Merry Widow' in 1960 and she appeared in
virtually every production in the intervening years. Her last
performance was in 'Titanic - the musical' in June 2005.
Although ill at the time, she very much wanted to perform at the Liverpool
Empire, the first time WKLOS had played there. With a very determined
effort ( and Jean was a very determined lady ), she managed to appear
onstage for the last night of 'Titanic' and joined with the rest
of the cast for several of the big numbers. She was very excited to
have been a part of the show and was enormously proud of WKLOS when the
Society won the NODA Best Musical of the Year - 2005.
Jean
had served on the main committee since 1980 and on the Social Committee from
1978, becoming its chairman in 1986. She also produced many Autumn
concerts. She will be very much missed by all those connected with
WKLOS.

John McBride
We are sad to announce the death of John McBride, who was the accompanist
for the Society from 1961 - 1997.
He brought so much to WKLOS through his
musical talents. He will be much missed.
