Opera star Simon Estes arrived in
Tulsa last week for a two-day
promotion of his new scholarship fund,
and to meet with members of the Estes
Educational Foundation.
Foundation board members, lead by
President Jayne, are working full
speed ahead in preparation for Estes*
benefit concert next month. Estes said
he is very pleased with the response
thus far to the fund-raiser. "It’s going
very, very well. The committee is just
stupendous. Tulsa should be proud of
them all.
Estes has promised to personally
donate 63,000 to the scholarship fund
during his March 16 concert.
Since the idea for the scholarship
fund was announced, Estes says
people frequently ask him “Why
Tulsa?”
“When I first came here in 1979 or so,
I felt a certain warmth In the people
here. I can’t put my finger on it. It’s
very strange. When I was here to do
the opera Attila, the people applauded
before I walked on stage. I really felt
love, and of course that inspires me to
give more love. I feel something
special here."
Estes says his appearance a McLain
high school provided additional in-
spiration. "I was so moved by the
attentiveness the students gave me
when I was speaking to them. I
thought, ‘I bet there are kids out there
who would go on to college if they were
insprired and the; knew they could
have a scholarship and a loan. Why not

At the Barrister’s Club in the

Estes night, as songstress Oteta
Adams paid tribute to Estes during a
magnificent performance of her own.
Estes stepped onto the stage for a few
minutes to express his appreciation to
(Meta and to the audience - a packed
house - for their support, and thanked
the committee for their dedication to
the cause.
During his two-day visit, Estes also
addressed a group of music teachers at
the Educational Service Center. A
report from "CBS Sunday Morning"
featuring Estes and other black opera
stars was shown, filmed during Este’s
Tulsa performance in “Attila.’’ He was
the first black to perform in the Tulsa
opera.
Estes asked teachers to encourage
students to attend the concert, and to
apply for the scholarship. Although
final criteria for the scholarship have
not been set, Estes stressed it will not ^QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQOQQOQQOQ Q Q Q Qj) V Q 9 QQ Q
