Difference between revisions of "Mid-States Four"

Four employees at the Bell & Howell Company, lead Marty Mendro, baritone Forrest Haynes, bass Bob Corbett, and tenor George Kledzik, formed a quartet. Bob Rodriguez replaced George as tenor when the other three members left Bell & Howell, and the group changed its name to the Mid-States Four. The president of the Mid States Insurance Company had taken an interest in the quartet and offered to sponsor them, providing uniforms and expenses in return for jobs done for his firm if they would use the corporate name.
