Hi Susan, I don't know what kind of pull you may have with the Inquirer at this point, especially in its cunrert state of flux, so this request may go no further than this writing. I am writing to you because it appears you and the late/great Ruth Seltzer had a friendly working relationship yes? For many years I was a volunteer member at People's Light and Theatre in Malvern. We had a gala annual fundraising dinner and show event every year which almost always found Ruth Seltzer in attendance. In the early to mid '80s we had a Roaring Twenties theme where I was portraying what else a Chicago-type gangster. In full dress costume, with a .45 shoulder holster and the requisite Tommy gun I fully, and convincingly, looked the part. My character's re-creation, especially done without help from the PLT costume department, was so good that Ruth had her photog take a few photos of me with some assurance that I would no doubt be featured in her next column. Needless to say, I was looking forward to it. Unfortunately for me, Ruth's next column which chronicled the PLT affair feature the photos of some up-and-coming cabaret-style entertainer Karen Akers comes to mind whose fame apparently came and went in meteoric fashion.
