| I have known Norman Kaye since 1974. We met when Frank coached Norman's son Richard and his Pop Warner Football team. We were lucky enough to get to know Norman and share many good times with him and his family. Norman is a warm and wonderful soul; plus a genuine Vegas entertainment pioneer. If you can help him in any way in this time of need, it would be much appreciated. Thank you for your consideration. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Dear fellow entertainers, press folks and civilians From Sunday, March 16th, and onwards, it will cost $120.00 a day to keep Norman at the facility where he is now. If some money can be raised immediately it will give us time to "prepare" an event which could generate some serious amount thusly giving Barbara some extra time to seek assistance from the proper agencies. There are many of you out there with some great good intentions, so please let us make this a collective effort and generate good financial results which can be verified by anyone at the drop of a hat. A venue also needs to be secured. Anyone who is financially "balanced" and can afford it, please send (ASAP). A check or a money order to:
Bellow you will find part of a letter sent out by a concerned friend and entertainer... It is self explanatory. It's about Norman. I was 23 years old when I had the opportunity to play in Las Vegas with my Trio. The biggest Act in town was The Mary Kaye Trio. True Pioneers of the Lounge Entertainment Venue. I met the multitalented Norman Kaye at that time. I traveled the world as guitarist with "The Three Suns". No matter where I played I would meet someone who had seen Norman and his Sister, Mary, perform. I retired in Las Vegas and found myself living a scant 500 yards from Norman and his wife Barbara. Norman has suffered a stroke and is currently in a Rehab center in Summerlin, NV. He is about to be removed from the Rehab facility because Medicare will only pay for 20 days of care. Norman has served with distinction in The U.S. Air Corps and was awarded The Bronze Star for Bravery. He wrote over 100 songs and a songbook praising Nevada along with countless Works of Poetry earning the Honorable Title, "Poet Laureate Emeritus of Nevada". His song, "Throw a Dime my way", raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to help the World War II effort. In addition, he wrote the song, "Have a Heart, Lend a Hand", that helped raise more monies for corporate charities. Through the years, he has helped many Musicians and has mentored many others. NORMAN NEEDS HELP NOW. WHO WILL STAND UP FOR NORMAN IN HIS TIME OF NEED. I will help. Will you? Any offerings of AID should be directed to only Barbara Meriwether Kaye or Norman Kaye at P.O. Box 36432, LV, NV. 89133.
