New Horizon Reunion Concert Tour

We all enjoyed attending the Seoul Temple one morning

Wow! I had such a fun, fun week. After months of preparation and hard work on the part of the New Horizons to compose, arrange and coordinate everything, everyone met from all over the US and Korea for a week of 10 shows.
The New Horizon were a missionary band, conceived by President Gene Till 1974-77. They teamed up with the Tender Apple choir and served their mission by appearing on TV and radio and performing all over the country. During those three years and because of their efforts, the name of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints rose in name-recognition polls from 7% to %80. They even had a song written by Randy Davenport that rose to the top ten in the pop charts of the day, and produced two LP's!
As a popular TV actress during 1975, I also toured and sang with them some, hence the invitation to join with them on this reunion tour. Mostly we sang the same old songs, which were well received. As young missionaries, these Elders didn't proselyte as usual, or see many physical fruits of their labors, so it was exciting last week for Clyde Robbins to meet a woman who he had taught when she was a 16-year old student. She didn't join the church at that time, but 10 years later was baptized with her husband. Her two children have both served missions. Sometimes the harvest or news of it is a long time coming! What joy it was for Clyde to finally to see results of a sucessful harvest!
I really enjoyed meeting and spending fun time with the spouses and feel so grateful to feel like I have a whole bunch of new, very special friends. It was an emotional experience to say goodbye.
