I honestly feel that they will be excellent wives, simply because my husband Bill and I raised them to be religious, well-adjusted, levelheaded individuals. They have enjoyed a full, happy home life, never dominating it as might be expected, but rather sharing it equally with seven brothers and sisters. They are now raising their own families in much the same way as Bill and I raised them. As far as the “spoiling” effect of show business is concerned, we've always treated their appearances as just a job. In fact, that’s how their first tv appearance came about—to help make money for a badly needed extra room on our house. Atthe time, there were 11 of us crowded into a two-bedroom house in Venice, Calif. The girls slept in one room. The boys in another. Bill and I shared the couch. For 17 years we'd been living from pay- i i z. de i i in the bank. So we thought, “Why notlet the girls sing at benefits and pick up some extra money so we can build an extra room?” All four girls considered it as a job for Air-Pillo Insoles. re like “* walking onpillows.”” choll’s luxuriously soft Air-Pillo insoles cushionevery step, make anyshoe feel expensively comfortable.

Music always has been a natural of the lives of each of the girls as next first part they grew up. Everything any of the kids ever did, they did with song,even their household chores. And so they sang at a church benefit, then the Rotary Club, and the Elks—and that’s where Larry Welk, Jr., heard them. A weeklater he took thegirls to sing for his father who was homewith a cold. Mr. Welk just sat there and listened and didn’t say a word! Yet a couple of days later he asked the girls to sing on his ABC Christmas show. 2 Family Weekly, February 25, 1968 From the very beginning there was never any question as to what was most importantin our girls’ lives. First was always their religion. Not just a Sunday religion but, as with all of us, a way of getting the most out of life. My daughters are now teaching their own children the same things I taught them. Next came the family and, after that, their careers. At first, neither Bill nor I were terribly interested in whether or not the girls made a career out of show business. If anything, Bill discouraged it because he had been in vaudeville and knew show business could be exhausting and give a star a big head. But he needn’t have wor- ried. Just being around some of the top names in show business taught them how fame can spoil a person. One time they appeared at a fair with a top performer. The moment‘ie showed up, he ordered all the other artists out of their dressing rooms so they could be taken over by his own group. When it was pointed out to him that our daughters were the main attraction, he snapped, “Okay. They can stay. But everyone else goes!” So my daughters invited all those displaced people into their dressing room and set up a schedule that enabled everyone to change in moderate comfort. Living as we still do in Venice, a lower middle-class suburb of Los Angeles, has also helped keep our girls levelheaded. They always had to do household chores. Even today, when they canafford it, none of the girls has a maid. Today all of the girls are married. Dianne, now 28, to Richard Gass; Peggy, 27, to Dick Cathcart; Janet, 21, to Lee Bernhardi; and Kathy, 24, to Mahlon Clark last June 26. Dianne has three children, Peggy has three plus three stepchildren from Dick’s previous marriage, and Janet has just had herfirst. It is encouraging to Bill and me that our girls are raising their children much the same way we did—with strong em- |
