DAY TWO HUNDRED SIX - the don

There’s another singles convention coming up in a couple weeks’ time here at the Richmoor Hotel – just like the one that brought me here in the first place. I had written to many of the friends I’ve made along the way, from the various conventions I’ve attended, to let them know about it – inviting them to join me, with the hopes that maybe they’d want to come enjoy the fun, giving me the chance to renew acquaintances – right here in my own backyard.

Remember how I mentioned that Donny and Marie, et fratres, are big stuff over here in the UK. Well, here’s a little email in reply to the one I send out, to bring home the point – from my friend, Angela, a retired civil service employee who lives in Cardiff:

Hello Debbie, cant make this one as I am 'on Tour' with the Osmonds.   Donny

> and Marie are over here now, and Osmond Brothers coming over very soon to join

> their tour, so will be in Birmingham on this date.

> Maybe see you again somewhere another time.

Thanks for letting me know,

[I wonder if the Osmonds – Second Generation, especially that cutie David, are getting in on the action?!]

The don – now & then (you can see by looking at the images that Donny was that generation’s Justin Beiber) - the last laugh's on him!
