Describing the last two photos, Buddy writes, "All of us Production people and cast getting our "just" rewards, it was a tough slog, especially as I was there five days ahead of everyone else and making sure "alles est in ortnung" (all is in order) musically and many other ways so when the cast and Jim arrived from Las Vegas, all the rough spots had been smoothed out. Susi Froelich deserves a lot of credit for this as well as she worked so hard with me, and many thanks to the great Savoy Dance Orchestra, who rehearsed for many, many hours over a period of many many days - and are they great.

The other reward is that our show ALL THAT SWING is the biggest HIT show they have had at The Estrel Hotel in the 8 years they have been doing shows (approx 1,000 patrons per performance) EVER!"
