The Dreamliners were an all-female vocal trio that started out in the mid-1950's at Warrington United Methodist Church, performed for a decade, and reunited every several years for various events. The group was made-up of Betty Dye Edwards, Pat Gamwell, and Edra Keen Jeter. Edwards was the choir director at the church, and Gamwell had previously been Miss Atlantic City 1950, and host for that year's Miss America pageant. Their first gig was aboard the USS Saipan, a training carrier stationed at NAS. Throughout their career as entertainers, they performed on The Lynn Toney Show, also for Mardi Gras events, and for several civic groups such as the Civitan and Kiwanis clubs, and for many military gigs throughout the region. In 1998, they performed at a Senior Follies variety show, and on Thursday, Oct 27 2011 at Azalea Trace retirement community. Their set list includes "Dream", which is their theme song; also "Sincerely", "Sentimental Journey", "I Can't Give You Anything But Love", "Goody, Goody", and several other past radio hits from the 1950's and 60's.
