Pop Star to Perform Saturday at J. Scheidegger Center
The mother-in-law is often a topic of abuse and insult by comedians or in movies and television sitcoms. That's not the case for Debby Boone. "I was crazy about her.

Boone's mother-in-law was famed singer Rosemary Clooney. Clooney died in 2002 and Boone released a tribute album, Reflections of Rosemary, three years later. The artist will share her thoughts and music in a concert beginning at 8 p.m. Saturday, May 7, at Lindenwood University's J. Scheidegger Center for the Arts, 2300 W. Clay St., St. Charles.
