were served. The majority of the customers were military officers but the general public came, too. Don Soelberg often gave an imitation of the Fuhrer and it went over big with the audience which would laugh heartily. How I Met My Husband Although I had interesting friends, my desire was more for music and education than for dating. Thus it wasn't until January 1947 that I met my husband, Forrest Alvin Kyle. I was playing with the Benny Bentfield Orchestra at the Hotel Ben Lomond. Shortly before, my mother had asked if I didn't meet eligible men at the club. I replied, "Not the kind that I would marry." One night I noticed a new and interesting man in the club, a radio announcer at KLO Radio located in the same building. This was a thrilling time of my life. I think we. both knew our future the night we met. I was living at the family home at 1208 Porter Avenue until we married. Forrest's Background Forrest was the son of James Alvin Kyle and Lena May Austin Kyle of Pasadena, California. Forrest's father was a quiet, hardworking man engaged in landscape gardening. Lena was a loving grandmother to our children, one who was concerned, helpful and enthusiastic about them. His mother had been raised a Methodist, but Forrest was not active in his church which was located near the family home at 383 Atchison Street, and Forrest only attended occasionally. I was most pleased and comfortable to know my new brother-in-law Larry Kyle and his wife. Lota. They have been a constant source of comfort for me and my family, and we are always received with hospitality. Forrest had graduated from Horace Mann High School in Pasadena and also Pasadena Junior College. He was a popular young man, good-looking with an outgoing personality. He played the saxophone, drums, sang beautifully, and had his own band composed of leading area musicians which performed at the Pasadena Elks club and Athletic Club. His voice was deep, rich, and had a truly professional sound. He always had a witty reply and was never at a loss for words. I feel that he would have made an excellent lawyer, with training and inclination, for his reasoning powers were quick and true. As it was, he was a talented and popular master of ceremonies. In the service during World War II, he had been an entertainment specialist, organizing a successful men's glee club which received military honors, and was an Armed Forces Radio announcer. He had attend the William Speare School of Speech in Hollywood, California, then began working for KLO where he worked with well-known local personalties Len Allen and nationally known Ray Briem. Our Marriage Forrest began working for KGEM Radio in Idaho. I stayed in Boise at the Owyhee Hotel and had a nice room there. Forrest would visit me there, and also we would visit his radio
