 | President Harry Truman throws the first pitch (1955)
On May 24, 1955, Roy Richard Thomas was staying at the Brown Palace Hotel in Denver, Colorado while attending a meeting at the hotel of GMAC employees from the Pueblo & Denver & Cheyenne, Wyoming offices.
Former President Truman made a grand entrance into the multi-storied atrium lobby, while members of the hotel staff and guests lined the balconies of the several floors. President Truman strode briskly into the lobby, smiled broadly, and waved to all present, who clapped loudly. This warm reception and his response were typical of his interaction with the common man and woman.
Truman had come to Denver to attend a dinner ($25 a plate) to raise funds for the Truman Presidential Library in Independence, Missouri.
While this photo was taken at the opening of the baseball season in 1955, it does show the presidential smile and his bond with the people in the stands.

 | Pro Musica Rara, Baltimore MD
Pro Musica Rara is one of the chamber groups whose performances Roy and Carol Thomas have enjoyed since Carol's retirement in 1999.
MEMORIES OF CAROL JEAN WEHREIN THOMAS BY PENNY SCHWARZ, PRO MUSICA RARA
"Carol Thomas was a very special friend not only to Michael and me but to the entire Pro Musica Rara family as well! She and Roy were most caring, dedicated, philanthropic patrons of PMR for many years. It was a pleasure to greet both of them at concerts.
Carol was very bright and most articulate! She spoke beautifully and with great clarity to display her feelings and emotions. Her artistic ability and creativity was frequently exemplified in the greeting cards that we were so privileged to receive.
One musical experience, aside from many at Pro Musica Rara concerts and functions, that was so special to Mike and me, was our escorting Carol and Roy to an Embassy in Washington, D.C. for dinner and a special musical evening. It was fun to be with Roy and Carol and to experience her wit and exhuberance! What a fun evening!
Even when Carol became ill and had difficulty getting around, she and Roy faithfully attended Pro Musica Rara concerts. With a smile and very kind words, she expressed her happiness at being part of a wonderful musical afternoon. Carol knew that she was failing physically and occasionally commented, but she still exemplified the same style, grace, and cheerful demeanor that were her trademark for many years. Still cheerful and delightful in spite of her ailments!
Carol was a wonderful, very special friend, and we are so happy to have had her and Roy in our lives. The Pro Musica Rara Board and extended family express the same sentiments!" |
