Been Singing for 25 Years
Twenty five years ago the young Blair sisters, Bonnie & Geraldine, were well known in music circles for their duets. Singing both popular and semi-classical arrangements, they traveled through Utah and California. Some of their earliest memories were singing together in church programs, amateur talent and vaudeville shows. Accompanied by their mother, Mrs Myrtle Blair, they were sometimes joined by their brother Berdell. They started singing such songs as "Beautiful Sunset" and Whispering Hope," at funerals when they were three and five years old. Now after many years the sister act has been reunited. Geri Blair Bangerter, left, of Centerville, is the mother of ten children, while her sister Bonnie Blair Lorenc, right, has eight, They are shown with their mother.
