My radio name was Bob White. I was on the air at WOKY Milwaukee for 10 years. Fortionately that time span encompassed the great period of the big bands. As a DJ I got to meet a good many of the performers. Unfortionately the one I admired so much was an exception. Doing interviews with many Helen's name was mentioned quite often by others in the field who admired her. I was hoping some day she would appear in our town, bot during my time it never happened. Frustrating me even more' I never saw a closeup of her. Singing with the big bands she always was seen at a distance. I loved the voice but never saw the image. I will say this: "If a voice is a gateway to the soul, Ms Forrest was a beautiful person." She is part of my big band collection and to this day enjoy her quite often. All the best to her son.
