I enjoyed my wonderful music career completely! Teaching vocal music, private piano, and then the switch to church music in my 30's enabled me to serve as Choirmaster/Organist, and Director of Handbell Choirs, Youth Choirs, and Children's Choirs for 42 fabulous years. Enjoyed collaboration with other church choirs for Annual Hymn Festivals, Cantatas, and Concerts to raise monies for City Ministries. Am currently still teaching piano, and continuing to be very active in the Buffalo Alumnae Chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota (professional women's music fraternity). Loved participating in planning and directing in all of the Choral Reading Sessions for the ACHS Alumni Reunion Weekend, organized by classmate, John Roberts.
Having come from a musical family, I thank my parents, and all of the music teachers in the Amherst schools - especially Walter Reitz, for recognizing my talent, and encouraging me to pursue music. What a privilege to have graduated from Amherst!
