Winnetka Park District    Dear Bill, On behalf of the Winnetka Park District, the Village Of Winnetka, and the Memorial Day Committee, I would like to thank you for participating in the parade and ceremony at the 73rd Memorial Day Ceremony.

Village of Schaumburg     Dear Bill,
Bill Porter’s orchestra swings, stomps and serenades its way into your heart.
People love it. Singing to it. Dancing to it. Or just listening to it. They have been my orchestra of choice for years. Sincerely, Al Larson   Village President

Dear Bill, On behalf of the Highland Park Community House, I’d like to personally thank you for opening our 5th Annual Highland Park Jazz Series with your musical salute to the great Frank Sinatra. Your tribute to Sinatra was so exciting, nostalgic and so much fun. Your band was outstanding, as usual, but also amazing: The audience heard the music of a full big band from an ensemble numbering only five! They are fantastic! Your choice of musical selections, personal stories and great sense of humor was enjoyed by all in attendance and a most befitting memorial to a man who contributed so much to our popular music. I should add that your program was the first sell-out we’ve ever had and we thank you for that as well.

            Wishing you continued success in 2000 and hoping you continue your Sinatra celebration for many years to come.

            Let’s do it again soon!

                        John R. Blane  Jazz Series Program Chairman
