Occassion: Meredith Willson was an admirer of the Salvation Army and its music. Bramwell Coles (pictured) ran the SA's International Music Dept in London; Bruce Broughton's grandfather ran the one on the west coast. On a visit to LA, Willson organized a lunch at the Friar's Club to honor Coles, inviting all the composers.
