Some of the local people who were so supportive and caring in those years were the congregation of the First Presbyterian Church, especially Frank A. Nelson, States Rights Finley, Dr. James L.
Fowle, Almeda Schwartzzman, Margaret Thomason, Carl Scheibe, Dr. J. Park McCallie, Dr.
Bibb, and many more that I could name. Others who were supportive were the people of Ochs Temple and the Electric Power Board. I also enjoyed kindness and support from the conductor who succeeded Dr.
Wolff, Siegfried Landau, and have never gotten over being able to sing "The Ballad of Baby Doe" under his direction. He was an innovator and brought many new operas to our city during his tenure.
