John R. Svendsen, Proud Marine

John Richard Svendsen in his Marine Dress Blues.
One day after 50 years an old lady called me up to thank me. She had no date for the Prom at the Waldorf Astoria with a real orchestra and Lobster Newburg and afterward a limo to the Copacabana and then home. I sent Johnny in his Marine Dress Blues looking like Paul Newman and a terrific dancer. She looked beautiful and he was a dream date. She said because of me it was one of the happiest nights of her life instead of a disaster.
[Please use this photo for his biography.]

Date & Place: June 1961 in Camp Lejeune, Onslow County, North Carolina 28547, United States

My brother Johnny was exceptionally generous to me when I was suddenly poor, and he literally fed me for months. I will miss him for the rest of my life. He was a film buff and chess player like me.

For fifty years I have been a Document Examiner and that is how I earn my living. For over 50 years I have also been a publicist for actors, singers, writers, composers, artists, comedians, and many progressive non-profit organizations. I am a Librettist-Composer of a Broadway musical called, "Nellie Bly" and I am in the process of making small changes to it. In addition, I have written over 100 songs that would be considered "popular music" in the genre of THE AMERICAN SONGBOOK.
My family consists of four branches. The Norwegians and The Italians and the Norwegian-Americans and the Italian Americans.
