This picture was sent to us by Tracy Schou, whose mother, Patricia Hale and father, William Skyler (real last name Schou) were on the show. Tracy e-mailed: "My father died in January, 1959. My mother is alive and well, recently retired from the Reading Area Community College, where she was a career counselor, and was employed for more than 20 years. She was a founder of Green Hills Theater in the late '50s and early '60s and appeared in performances at the Bucks County Playhouse where she received rave reviews for her performances."
