Jacquelynne Bogucki was born in San Antonio, Texas and received her music degree from the Hart College of Music in Hartford, Connecticut. Formerly known as Jacquelynne Moody, she performed in many operas and in musical comedies. She made her operatic debut in the “Merry Wives of Windsor” in Central City, Colorado. In 1955, Mrs. Bogucki joined the New York City Center Opera Company and became the leading soubrette coloratura. She has toured the United States performing in many operas, and has sung with many famous symphonies including the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. She made the pilot film for CBS-TV’s “The American Musical Theatre” and performed in CBS-TV’s “Camera Three” production of Mozart’s “The Impresario.” Mrs. Bogucki performed the role of Guenevere in “Camelot” many times on Broadway as well as on the National Tour. After her final tour of “Camelot”, Mrs. Bogucki decided to trade in the glamorous life of the theater for a more satisfying career in teaching music. So, in 1967 she began her career as a public school music teacher. She taught for 37 years in the New York and Florida public schools. During those 37 years she wrote many original children’s musicals as well as plays in which folk, popular, and Broadway hit songs were incorporated. She retired from teaching in 2006 and now lives in Naples, Florida with her husband in their little home in “Paradise.”

It just so happens that one bite from one of Henry’s apples causes the both sides to forget their feud and become friends once again.
