[Below is information copied from photocopies of a program I
found in one of my aunt's scrapbooks - If words are all in
uppercase - that is as they appear in the program - I have taken
the liberty of placing the surnames all in caps to make it easier
for anyone scanning these pages. Any information in brackets is
my own personal comment - Happy Hunting - Kit WILLMOT-Hickey]
