School Story:

Before Christmas, Dr Kovach had our German class singing in German. She stopped the class, escorted me down to Grace Engel's choir room, where the class was stopped for my impromptu "audition". Thus began my time in the choir where I met my best friends at Mumford and Eugene Hancock, the accompanist, who became a mentor and friend.

Happy Birthday Shelley. I know we had several classes together, but I cannot remember your friends. Mumford was a big school. Do you remember me?

Happy Birthday! Are you still running the tea shop? Do your children live nearby? How about grandchildren? Mine all live in MD and VA. Traffic is so bad here that a trip to Alexandria seems like a day's journey.

Are you still selling tea? I had anticipated a visit to Arizona after I retired from NASA along with several trips to Europe, but plans collapsed after stroke. Last year Terri had neck surgery so we further reduced travel. I'm fortunate to have my children and grandchildren living nearby, although DC area traffic is so bad that a trip to Alexandria requires careful planning. Does any of your family live nearby? Do you still have any ties to Detroit? My brothers live in Tennessee and Wisconsin so we visit by telephone.

Happy Birthday! Hope you are well and enjoying grandkids. Do they live near you? Have they followed your career path? My eldest granddaughter aims to be a 6th generation teacher and is cutting a new path as a nationally ranked wrestler.

I see some similarities. I sang in school and church choirs and small groups from 4th grade until 2019 when a stoke limited my ability to walk and stand. I also graduated from UM, but in Engineering so it was December. Continued on in graduate school while singing with University Choral Union. Moved to Tucson, AZ with USPHS, then to Washington DC area where I retired from USPHS, then joined NASA for 21 more years. Returned to Detroit every year once or more until my mother died in 2019
