Bob ’59 and Judy ’59 were in Quebec City 9-13 March for a weekend clarinet festival. Bob conducted 3 works with the 30 member clarinet orchestra of local professionals and students from the Conservatoire on the 12 March concert and gave a three hour master class on the 13th at Laval University. On 6 April, he began rehearsing The Motor City Collection by Alan Torok. This is a set of 10 pieces for clarinet and piano. The plan for Bob is to premier them in a house concert in May with the composer present.

The following is a note from Shirley Kersten ’47 –

“Yes, there are a few of us 1947 grads! Missed us in the Class News notes. I’m in San Gabriel Assisted Living facility here in Rochelle (northern) Illinois. Went to 65th Class Reunion but there wasn’t any special gathering place at the luncheon for the 65ers so only 5 of us found each other. I’m 92 and am writing a pictoral history of the farming operations on our farm in the 1930’s – also family, school and church history in the greatest little village in northern Illinois – my hometown of Steward, population 250! Size: 4 blocks wide 6 blocks long.”
