Donald D. Voorhees by Al f Werolin The AMICA, V 18, No 4, May 1981
He is best known, perhaps, as conductor of the radio program "The Telephone Hour" which was broadcast over a period of many years. At one time he had his own dance orchestra. He is currently conductor of the Allentown (Pennsylvania) Symphony Orchestra and makes personal appearances as guest conductor of other wellknown orchestras. We will endeavor to obtain a more complete biography of Mr. Voorhees for a later Bulletin. In the meantime, welcome Donald Voorhees to our circle of distinguished honorary AMICAns!
