their father, a picture of a gun pointed at his head, and the words "High Noon" (the time of the murder). The sisters were devastated by their father's death, and in the wake of the murder, their new show was impacted by this tragedy and lasted only one and a half seasons. In the 1970s, the sisters performed regularly on The Andy Williams Show, and when that show ended in 1971, the sisters would tour around with Williams across the country, with engagements including Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. They had a successful floor show with Williams in Las Vegas for about ten years. They also appeared on several game shows, including Family Feud, Tattletales, and The Hollywood Squares. In the spring of 1982, Larry Welk asked the Lennon Sisters if they would like to perform at the Welk Theater from May until New Year's Eve for the Branson entertainment season. The four sisters moved their families from the Los Angeles area to Branson, Missouri. After the death of Lawrence Welk on May 17, 1992, the Lennon Sisters quartet headlined at the Welk Champagne Theater in Branson from 1994 to 2012. When Peggy retired from singing in 1999, younger sister Mimi took her place, and when Dianne left for a second time in 2001, the act was a trio again for the rest of its run in Branson. They continue to tour across the country and appear annually with their Christmas show at The Andy Williams Moon River Theatre, marking twenty consecutive years of performing in Branson. Other than their thirteen years on The Lawrence Welk Show, the sister group would appear on many other different shows throughout the years, including The Ed Sullivan Show, The John Davidson Show, The Andy Williams Show, Celebrity Bowling, The Jim Nabors Hour, Cher, Password Plus (Janet Lennon only), and The Merv Griffin Show. While continuing to play tour dates, Kathy and Janet Lennon have branched out into the toy market in 2006, designing and selling a line of "Best Pals" dolls. In addition to the dolls, the sisters have recorded CDs of favorite children's songs for the "Best Pals" line. The four original Lennon Sisters wrote an autobiography titled Same Song, Separate Voices, first published in 1985, with a new edition in 1995. In 2011 The Lennon Sisters: Same Separate Voices, (using the same name as the book) was a musical documentary celebrating
