Dear Van:
When I read my poetry to June Allyson, at the Judy Garland Festival 2002 (an annual event
to honor the legendary Judy Garland), I shared (with June) how much I wanted to propose
marriage to her, at the age of 5! I told June that I would have proposed to her in 2002, but
I was (quote) "too fat, too old, and too poor. Yet, living in picturesque and rural Ellington (Connecticut), I have become a 'cowchip' millionaire!"
I informed June that I had worn a clothespin on my nose, since the age of 5 (I was age 55,
at the time of my most-recent meeting with June Allyson). As you know, June has since
passed away.
In her book, June Allyson by June Allyson, the celebrity shared how black angus cows had
broken through the fence, at Dick Powell and June Allyson's ranch in California (Mandeville
Canyon), and had taken a skinnydip in the swimming pool at their exclusive estate. June
couldn't understand why Richard (Dick Powell) had put the place up for sale. But, after
telling June about my experience with cows, I am certain that both June and I never
laughed so hard about her skinnydipping cows!
Warmest Regards,
Len Bourret
