Today was the last Sunday for our long-time organist, Frank Saunders, and choir director, Maureen Fromme. Frank is slowing down a little physically--but not mentally or musically--and is going to spend more time with his expanding crew of grandchildren. Maureen is moving on to a teaching position at a private school. Both have served long and nobly.
A new organist and choir director perhaps half their age will start next week. Yes, new blood is necessary to keep organizations invigorated, but as an old-timer myself I worry about the loss of institutional knowledge. Here's another bit of geezer wisdom: know the benefit of keeping your trap shut.
Below is Frank playing the last minute of On Eagle's Wings this morning.
