Later that year, on the evening of June 14, David and I were at Feinstein's 54 Below, where Neva was hosting and narrating a concert version of the show that made her a legend--1967's "Henry, Sweet Henry."
I still recall that evening, and how wonderful it was to hear people sing that score live--my only chance, thus far.
I bought with me my copy of the Original Cast Album, with the show's poster on the cover. After the performance, I gave it to Neva, asking her to sign it,which she graciously did. The album is now framed, and hangs on the wall, in the foyer of our apartment.
When I met Neva in the temple, we learned her daughter, Barbara Fetig, was getting married that next week.
Well, guess what, darlings???????????????
Four years later, Neva is now a grandmother! Barbara and her husband, Patrick Cline, (no relation to Patsy, or is he?) recently had a baby girl, Neva's granddaugher, whose name is Ellie.
Welcome to the world, Ellie, and congratulations, Neva!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are still a legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations indeed.
What a fortunate child. She will have a wonderful grandmother!
Victoria,
Indeed, she will. And perhaps
will inherit her artistry!
I'm sorry, but why does every web photo of Neva make her resemble Rhea Perlman's slightly more attractive sister? Not a great look on anybody, talented as they may be.
Sweetheart,
Maybe it is the hair style.
Honestly, I never thought of Rhea
when I see Neva.
I have met her at the Actos Temple,
through Daivd, and she is lovely
and gracious!!!!!!!!!!!
