Married. Had two wonderful children. Taught voice and piano at Lubbock Christian University several years. Moved to Wichita Falls for 2 years, then on to Graham in 1983. We've lived in Graham since then. Taught Elementary Music in all three elementary schools in Graham for 6 years. Then taught High School and Junior High School Choir for 4 years before I retired in 1997. (My health had deteriorated to the point that I no longer was able to keep up with the rigorous activities of two choirs.)
Before I began teaching, I wrote and published 3 volumes of SING A SONG, containing about 300 original Bible School songs for pre-school through second or third grade students. The songs were coordinated with actual Bible Class lessons, and most were easy enough that the children could sing along with the teacher. I also made a tape to go with each one. In addition to SING A SONG, I have arranged a number of hymns for our singing group at church. I sang soprano with JOYFUL SOUND, a ladies' quartet that was active for several years.
I loved being your Choir Director during the years I was there. My students were the best in the world, and, of course, there is nothing that can delight the spirit like singing and making beautiful music together. That let me know what heaven would be like. I'll never forget those years at Ft. Worth Christian.
