POP/ROCK - March 22, 1988

Eleanor Vallee, widow of crooner Rudy, married attorney Edward Husted on Saturday--a romance that began during a tennis match that “apparently ended love-all,” her spokesman said. Hustedt is 56 and the new Mrs. Hustedt, who became Vallee’s fourth wife when she was 16, also is in her 50s. The newlyweds planned an 18-day honeymoon in Tahiti, and then are scheduled to attend a Maine tribute to Vallee, the singer-actor known for such songs as “The Vagabond Lover.” The Vallees had been married 36 years when the singer died in July, 1986.
