More Alumni

Here is another set of twins (Mary and Cherie) who sang in my choir when I taught in Indiana. Second Pic is me directing a rehearsal and the last is one of the choir performing.
I also sang with Randy, John and Bob in a quartet and a duet with Randy but I didn't get clear pics, sorry guys. Of course Jimmy organized the whole thing and did a wonderful job.

Back Home Again, In Indiana

October 12 and 13 Sandra and I went to Indiana Academy and participated in the Alumni Weekend. I directed the Alumni Choir and sang in the afternoon program. In this first pic you can see part of the alumni choir. In the second you can see Dr. Sharon and me at the organ I
installed in 1973 with several students and my dad.

In the third pic is Pastor Jack Nail (the pastor who performed our marriage ceremony 39 years ago) and Me and Sandra. Third pic is of Dr. Sharon and her twin, Sherman who were in my choir
from 1972 to 1974.

I'm Hot Stuff!

That's right, I am hot stuff. I found out a couple of weeks ago when we went into a nuclear plant to pick up some radio active freight to take across the country. When I went through the scanners to gain access to the plant, they picked up radiation in my body! Turns out that in June I had a nuclear stress test. To do the test they inject some (minute amount) radioactive material into the blood stream the night before the stress test, take you to this large machine which takes multiple pictures of the circulatory system. Then in the morning they inject some more of the fluid and let you walk on the treadmill until you can't go another step. Then, once again you go to the machine and have more pictures taken. Then they can compare the pictures to see if your arteries are functioning properly.

Evidently it takes quite a while for the very minute amount of radiation which gets into the circulatory system to dissapate because the scanner at the neuclear plant picked it up. If I had gone in to the plant the computer (scanner) would not have let me out! They could have done a complete body work up on me and then entered the results in the computer and then let me in (the computer would know that I had the radiation before I entered) and then I could get back out. But that would have taken several hours beyond the usual four hours it takes to get in. So guess what. . . Sandra was elected to drive into the plant and pick up the freight while I waited four hours in the waiting room until she came back out. That was quite an event since she had never gone inside before! She did a fine job - everyone said so.
