More than 50,000 persons sought Breakfast Club tickets when the show originated in the New York area for two weeks. An overflow crowd of 4,500 turned out to see their favorites in Brooklyn. The Toni Company took over sponsorship of the first quarter hour in September. For Don’s 40th birthday on December 23, the cast dressed as fouryear olds. Don was outfitted in a Lord Fauntleroy suit; Sam modeled a baby’s outfit; Jack was the barefoot boy and Patsy wore a pinafore. A few days earlier the McNeill family broadcast was unusually gay because it marked 13-year old Tommy’s first public appearance since his recovery from polio. When Don told about the crisis, listeners showered Tommy with 15,000 cards and letters. Sam and Bobby were "feuding" when this McNeill family picture was taken in December. This is how Jack Owens earned "the cruising crooner" title. The two biggest kids at Don's 40th birthday broadcast.
