LAMW's  Honorees, composers Jay Livingston and Ray Evans of "Mona Lisa" fame, rejoice with LAMW's Founder and
Executive Director Margie Evans, as they interact with the joyous students of the Fifty Second Street School Chorus as Director
William Marshall assists them  in paying the honorees tribute during the 1996 Press Conference at the Dorothy Chandler
Pavilion.
This was the first time that these students had been to this historic site, and they marvelled at being a part of this city's history.


May these links to emergency information provide comfort, hope and support.
