> In Louisville, she continued to sing on radio for both WAVE and WHAS.
> According to her son, she inherited the show Dale Evans did at WHAS
> after Evans left.
> She also appeared in some ensemble television casts, and was involved in
> numerous local theater projects.
> When she heard about the talking books at the American Printing House
> for the Blind, her son said she considered it an acting opportunity.
> Sales also funded the launch of Audio Description at The Kentucky Center
> for the Performing Arts in 1991 in memory of her husband, who died in
> 1987. The program provides narrators who broadcast live descriptions of
> the action onstage to audience members during performances.
> She also was the voice on the center's 10th anniversary "Tour on Tape,"
> and co-wrote that script.
