IN MEMORY OF


Their Memory
by Joe Pokorny

Boy’s and Girls like you and I,
Men and women memorialized.
Good and simple things they’ve done,
made a difference, for everyone.

If they could all return again,
no matter where, no matter when,
their smile, their face remembered still,
their presence causing sudden chill.

No fame, no fortune can replace,
the effort that they gave with grace.
Each name rekindles, fondness past,
and friendship bonds, forever last!

    If there is a picture & a brief bio, there will be an active link to take you there; if there is no active link, that means we have not yet worked on that picture and bio for that Regular who has passed away. We will be working on this special page in the months ahead, so please return for updates.

    This alpha list was created at the suggestion of good friend of site, Eleanor Ligman. She also provided much of the information for the list.




    ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: This Memorial Gallery was the inspiration of the lovely American Bandstand Regular, Carole Scaldeferri. She suggested the idea and she will be a good source for some of the information. Frank Ruggerio has helped in the guidance of this special page and to him and Carole I owe very much. Eleanor Ligman has done a tremendous amount of research and has helped supply a good deal of the information which the site will utilize. In addition, Mar (Marian Driscoll) is always there to help supply facts and help correct things. We do want this page to be as correct as we can possibly make it. Do please realize that any effort on research information going back as far as some 50 years is very difficult and we are doing the best we can. If anyone finds information that is incorrectly stated, we would appreciate hearing your constructive comments--and we will check out what we can. The site makes no intentional errors and we ask understanding and your help in the creation of this tribute. We will be working on this memorial gallery and will be adding as many of the Regulars we know who are still dancing on that greater stage! Though gone, they are truly still with us in our hearts. Thank you.
