For those who need a translation (including me!) Karina is saying that Ruth Etting is wonderful, in Portuguese!

Hi Cheryl -
My great Aunt Ethel and Ruth Etting were friends. I have the scrapbook that Aunt Ethel kept in which there are numerous newspaper articles, personal notes from Ruth to Ethel, pictures of Ruth at Hollywood Beach, FL. As a child I remember meeting Ruth in Hollywood, FL. If you are interested, please give me your e-mail address and I will try to scan pictures, articles, etc. to you.
I watched the Doris Day movie about her and enjoyed that but listening to the early recording by Ruth Etting on YOUTUBE is a real treat. Her voice is so clear and the selections are super, makes me wish I was born 25 years sooner so could have seen her in person.
