Los Angeles Credits ~ A Partial List

THE LOS ANGELES ATHLETIC CLUB

Dick Saunders and his orchestra, is without a doubt, the most professional musical group we have dealt with in our three clubs. I have know Dick for many years, and it seems that whenever we plan a party, our California Yacht Club members want to use Dick's services.The reason is due to his versatility. His groups please everyone from young teens to the most discriminating dancer. 

Our loss of Dick Saunders in the Los Angeles area will certainly be Portland's gain, both professionally and personally. From all our clubs, we wish Dick the very best, and hope some day, he chooses to return to the drier climate down south.

Sincerely,

Steve K. Hathaway ~ President
