Peggy Taylor, since 1952 SWEETHEARTS Don McNeill could be accused of running a matrimonial bureau for his Breakfast Club girl vocalists. However, they all came to the show unmarried . . . and just na¬ turally became homemakers. Edna O’Dell of Marion, Ind., was the first regular song¬ stress, appearing in 1935. Today, Edna and her husband operate a summer resort. Helen Jane Behlke shared the feminine vocal honors with Annette King in 1936 and 1937. A native of Bemidji, Minn., Helen now lives in California. Annette never left Aurora, Ill., to sing on the show, commuting 80 miles daily, from 1936 through 1939 She and her husband still live in Aurora with their four children. Evelyn Lynne of Dallas and Nancy Martin of Wheeling, W. Va. became regulars in 1939 When Evelyn left in 1941 Nancy alternated with Marion Mann of Colum¬ bus until 1946. Both Evelyn and Nancy live in California, while Marion is still in Columbus. After frequent guest appearances in 1946, 18-year old Patsy Lee took her place around the breakfast table. She returned to Oakland, Calif., with a Navy husband in 1952. The newest singing sweetheart is another Californian, Peggy Taylor of Alhambra. She joined the show on July 28, 1952, and already has won the hearts of Breakfast Clubbers. Nancy Martin, 1939-1946 Patsy Lee, 1946-1952 Edna O'Dell, 1935 Annette King, 1936-1939
