School Story:

Spent most of my time in choir activities including the Advanced Mixed Chorus and Roadrunners with Tom Williams and John Wolf. Started a folk group called the "Coachmen" with Tom and Ron Sowell which we continued throughout our time at Eastern New Mexico University. Was a secondary character in several musicals at RHS and sang a very short solo on the record we made with the choirs for Christmas one year. Joe Carroll allowed me to conduct the choir one year at festival in the sight-reading room...it was the beginning of my career in choral music and I have never looked back. Joe was a great teacher and I will be forever grateful to him for that opportunity.

Lots of great memories of dragging main street and hanging out with friends. Many good memories...my increasingly poor memory helps eliminate the very few bad memories.

Happy Birthday, Chuck! I hope you had a great one and lots of fun. At our age that consists of enjoying good company and fellowship, nothing too wild. Anyway, I hope it was wonderful. What a time we live in! Be strong and of good cheer.
