<para>
  The Actorsingers would like to express their sorrow at the passing of 
  Ernie Peterson.  Ernie was one of our earliest members and was instrumental 
  in creating the organization we know today.  He sang or worked backstage in 
  many shows and was more than once a member of the Board of Directors.  
  Even when Ernie had stopped being active on a show to show basis, he was 
  always ready to help out in any way.  To his wife, family and friends, we 
  extend our sincere sympathy.

  <b> The Potential Favorites </b>
  <br/> School Board Members
  <br/>
  <br/>
    The Actorsingers present the Potential Favorites Barbershop Quartet as 
    Ewart, Jacey, Oliver and Olin, the bickering School Board members.  
    Dave Kryger, lead; Matt Mercier, tenor; Steve Tramack, baritone; and 
    Ken Kopka, bass, have won competitions including the championship for Division 5 
    (Maine and New Hampshire).  Potential Favorites were silver medalists in the 
    Northeastern District and have twice qualified to compete internationally.  
    Joe Kopka, father of Ken Kopka, is a member of The Adventurers.  
    They were our quartet when we produced THE MUSIC MAN several years ago.

    The Nashua Exchange Club is part of a national organization that 
    meets weekly throughout the year.  Membership is comprised of individuals 
    from the greater Nashua area who share a common goal of helping others.  
    They conduct various fund-raising events throughout the year with the main 
    emphasis on helping the youth of our community, an example being the 
    Annual N.H.S. Post-Prom Party at St. Stanislaus Hall.  Other projects 
    include "One Nation Under God," "Giveakidaflagtowave," "Crime Prevention" 
    and others.  I am sure that you will agree that in addition to being 
    COMMUNITY LEADERS these fine gentlemen have a fine career ahead of 
    them in front of the footlights.
