"...I was afforded the opportunity to not only study the Italian language, but also to refine my skills as a singer in such a way as to afford me the chance to become employable as a professional opera singer in the Italian repertoire. I currently specialize in the opera of Verdi and Puccini, and am expanding into the works of Wagner, and Strauss. I have been engaged to sing Siegmund next year in Hawaii, and Lohengrin in Frankfurt.

I credit my current success ...particularly to Myron Myers, who has somehow managed to teach me everything I need to know to be engaged in the German Theater system as a Fest singer, in spite of my obstinance and ignorance. I am enjoying considerable success in Germany, and owe a great debt to Mr. Myers..."
