What a heartwarming article. I saw Ms Burke in Porgy and Bess at the National Theater in Washington, D.C. in the 1950’s. When I was sharing the experience with my mother I found out that Ms Burke was one of her elementary school teachers in Wilson, N.C. I always wished that I had known this before seeing the play because I surely would have tried to meet her.
