Julia (Aunt June because there were two Aunt Julias), was an accomplished mezzo-soprano. I have a box FULL of newspaper clippings and programs of her performances and accomplishments. There are also other keepsakes, such as the diary she kept while serving with the Y during WWI, her 15 and 20 year Red Cross pins, and her marriage license from 1914. Unfortunately, this couple had no children. As the family keeper of such things, I have the keepsakes stored and I hope that Julia (nor her husband Arch) will not be forgotten.

Mrs. Jack's rare range of power was displayed in her second appearance, the massive aria "Cavatine" from Gounod's "Le Reine de Saba." Her earlier numbers had been in her lower registers, but in this one she showed an amazing clarity and strength in her higher notes. Her diction was clear and distinct.
