Bill Zorn - Kingston Trio

 Fall 2006:

In trying to remember names of the kids in the Fariwood School pictures, I thought of Bill Zorn. I remembered that he moved to Arizona, but that was about it.

I “googled” him and discovered a Bill Zorn who had spent part of his career in the New Christy Minstrels, the Limelighters, and is now with the Kingston Trio.

His bio gave me some clues:  "I was born in Bridgeport, CT - the third of four sons - to Lillian and Edward in May 1948. My father was a sales representative and his work took us from Connecticut to rural Pennsylvania, to Ohio and finally to Phoenix, Arizona in 1961."  

Clues:  1948?  moved from Ohio to Arizona in 1961?

I found an address for a Bill Zorn in Arizona, wrote him a note to see if it was the Bill Zorn from Fairwood School and it was!  He has had quite a career and is now one of the Kingston Trio!  I just got this postcard from him:

 
 
 
 
 
 
The Kinston Trio played in Youngstown in the October of 2007. 
I contacted Bill ahead of time, had dinner with him, attended the
show and had breakfast with all three the next morning before
they headed back on the road!.  It was a great time.
