A MOST WONDERFUL FAMILY
Doris and her mother
■ My adopted "Mom" is the mother of Doris Day.
It all started when I joined the Doris Day Fan Club. I started exchanging letters with Doris' mom. who is her personal secretary. At first, I was interested only in the news I could obtain about my favorite star. Then. I discovered that the same qualities and traits I had admired in Doris Day were in the personality of her mother.
When I received my first letter from Mom Day, I felt as if I were floating. She's down-to-earth, she makes no pretense in her correspondence and she speaks from the heart.
When Doris was ill after completing Calamity Jane, I wanted to do something in connection with the Cleveland chapter of the fan club to make her feel better. Doris' mom worked with me on a scheme titled "Day for Recovery" and was on hand when Doris received our lengthy get-well scroll. Mom said, "Doris was so thrilled and she had tears in her eyes. She said. 'Do I really have that many fans in Cleveland?'" Later, when it was necessary for me to go to the hospital, Doris and her mom sent me wishes for a speedy recovery. It wasn't because of the interest I had channeled in their direction, but rather it was the family's love for others.
Doris and her mother have gone through a lot together. Whatever concerned Doris, concerned her mom. Today, the Melchers are a happily-married couple. Paul. Doris' brother, is a well-known disc-jockey, and he, too, is content with his home life. All this makes Mom Day happy. She has three grandsons (Paul has two boys. Doris one). She loves them so much and feels very close to her own children.
Mom Day is happy because her family is happy, because she plays such a prominent role in the lives of her children and because the relationship with Doris is not just as mother to daughter but friend to friend.
That's why I'm proud that this wonderful family is my adopted family.
