Clearwater, FL meeting – October 26, 2024

Save the date!

Location and details to follow, but wanted to announce we will have a Jeanette-Nelson get together on Saturday, October 26 in Clearwater, Florida. Plan on spending lunchtime and the afternoon with us; lunch will likely be at a local restaurant.

We’ve planned that our featured guest speaker will be Blythe Kearney, who knew Jeanette MacDonald and also met Nelson when the two stars stayed together in a hotel, during a private vacation in nearby St. Petersburg. Blythe spent an entire day with them, and also in later years discussed with Jeanette both her husband, Gene Raymond, and Nelson Eddy. Hear it right from someone who was right there on the scene!

We recommend those who would be coming from out-of-town to plan to spend the entire day, Saturday, with us. Some may want to stay overnight and spend Sunday with us as well. We will let you know ASAP at what hotel those folks will be staying at; this gives us more time to hang out together and talk. Clearwater is a 20 minute cab drive away from Tampa Airport, and also the smaller Clearwater/St. Pete airport is nearby.

If you are interested in attending, please fill out the Contact Form ASAP and let me know how many people you would attend with. This way I can get a better idea of the sized meeting place we would need on Saturday!
