Man who sang Margaret's escort shocks Emmetsburg
Emmetsburg readers of Walter Winchell's syndicated column noted an item claiming Margaret Truman's escort in Europe would be George London, a California basso. London, a former Canadan, sang solo in Emmetsburg two years ago and with the Metropolitan Opera Co in New York last season. He has appeared in Vienna operatic programs in recent years and has made strides in concert and operatic fields. Margaret is also a concert singer, though some doubt this claim.
