Hi folks,
Just to let you know that the subject relating to Anne Warren has been brought up before.

If you go to page three you will see under "Whatever Happened To"
additional information on this subject.

Sadly it seems we are still unaware what became of this young girl singer.

Best Wishes

The Four Jones Boys

Bernie,
All I can say is what a great story,the names are like a whose who in show business.

I think once your book on Ruby is published you must start on another giving an account of your life in show business as a performer and Manager to the stars.
