Expanding on the 1977 "Farewell Concert" thread, I have a few questions:

One would assume that engagements were booked well in advance; weeks, if not months. So were there dates on the Supremes calendar after June 12, 1977, when Mary departed? Wasn't the thought that Scherrie and Susaye would assume all future gigs? I know there was the "South Africa tour" that Mary thought Scherrie and Susaye would take, but didn't. How could they, "The Supremes", just say NO? And there HAD to have been other dates/concerts/venues scheduled. So what happened to those? Were they cancelled? Last thing: when Mary left, did she leave Scherrie and Susaye with the gowns? Or how did she end up with them?
