For those of us who were dance students at the Pepito And Joanne Academy of Dance in Santa Ana, California, this framed and signed photo was a familiar sight in a place of honor in Joanne’s dark-paneled studio. Inscribed by Lucille Ball, “For Joanne and Pepito, Our Love and Gratitude Always, Lucy and Desi.”
Photo, circa 1945, as per the Library of Congress website at http://myloc.gov/Exhibitions/ilovelucy/roots/ExhibitObjects/PublicityPhotos.aspx
