Silver Screen from June 1970

This is just one of the many reasons why ebay rules....

This issue of Silver Screen magazine from June of '70 is one of many famous celebrity magazines from the late 60's and early 70's that featured many "stories" about Lawrence Welk and his Music Makers.

In this issue, the female performers are featured.

The girls mentioned in the article, written by Alice Davenport, are Sandi Griffiths, Sally Flynn, Charlotte Harris, Gail Farrell, Ralna English, Cissy King and Norma Zimmer. And as the cover suggests, it talks about the loves and the sacrifices the ladies have to make as members of the Musical Family.

These are the actual pictures from this issue that I scanned and posted...

Also this issue has scoop photos of Tanya and her newborn son, Lawrence Welk the Third....who was born on February 28th of the same year. It also features a related article written by Gary Denton.

These are the pictures....

It's always very nice to go down memory lane.
