SMV Girl Groups Fan Club, Frances Baugh, President

**woodward** · 08-05-2017, 04:17 PM

In the 1990's and perhaps early 2000's, there was a group called the SMV Girl Groups Fan Club who was organized by Frances Baugh.

Does anyone know if the fan club ever issued any fan club bulletins? Frances was heavily involved in the Marvelettes legacy during this period. I have seen references to the fan club but never saw an opportunity to join it. Her name keeps popping up periodically. Does anyone know if she is still promoting it? She last lived in Brooklyn, NY [[garden spot of the world as Ralph Kramden said).

Thanks. Has anyone else heard about this club besides me?
