fun these are for alumni. See you next year! If you have any suggestions for the event or
if you need help with the nomination process, I can get you in touch with the right people.

the dedication is almost here 3 band directors will be speaking and I am redoing what I would like to show at the event. CH 9 did a short piece on the event and you can see it at there web site. Will keep you informed on any other things happen with the event as well I want to video tape the event. Mr Dumas is looking forward to this. All the band directors are showing up, as well I have invited the first band directors husband to the event. It was so good to see you recieve the award that day for all your hard work. BTW did you speak to the head of the Onondaga historical society?

Hall of Fame 2009 (Sun, 08 Mar 2009 12:00:00 GMT)
The Liverpool Fine Arts Hall of Fame has announced that on May 31, 2009,
four people will be inducted: Mike Cunninghame, James DeVivo, Wayne Killius and, um, me.
I still am not quite sure where the idea to nominate me came from. Any good ideas for ’fine arts’
jokes that can be used to lead off my acceptance speech?

Hall of Fame 2008 (Sun, 1 Jun 2008 12:00:00 GMT)
I attended the Liverpool Fine Arts Hall of Fame induction ceremony today. I have been able to make this an annual pilgrimage
for four years, and my only excuse for missing the first two ceremonies is that I literally didn’t know about the HoF.
With my ongoing audio project and the 2005 reunion, I have been quite visible to VITAL, so now this annual pilgrimage is
greeted at the auditorium door each year by old and new friends, and that makes it very enjoyable for me.
I spoke with Tom Minardi after the ceremony, and we agreed that the Liverpool Youth Voices choral group directed by Lisa Cowles
is startlingly good! I have been able to meet children of alumni friends, and I hope those kids know how important our alumni
friendships are after all these years. Don Lohr was present, and you may recall that he had bypass surgery in 2007, so all in all,
it was a great trip from Rochester to Liverpool.

Audio project presented to VITAL (Wed, 2 Apr 2008 12:00:00 GMT)
I attended a board meeting of VITAL in March (see the home page for more on VITAL).
We discussed the current state of the audio project, that is, 41 compact disks full of 1970s audio.
This digital form allows easy distribution, and uses beyond alumni listening. The collection complements
the Hall of Fame. If you have ideas for ways to use or maintain the collection, let me know.
VITAL offers a couple good programs such as the Hall of Fame and an annual career night.
We talked about fostering an internet community of music and drama alumni. The music department still
does great things. Go see a concert some time, or attend the Hall of Fame ceremony on June 1.

CD creation resuming soon (Sun, 11 Nov 2007 12:00:00 GMT)
I have been working on giving web site readers the ability to comment on blog items directly from their browser,
and that feature is pretty much working, and I added this blog page. Prior to that, I had been busy finalizing audio CDs.
I have the tracks on my hard drive, but I need to create the actual burn projects. Several are done; click the
home icon at right for the Liverpool HS Music page and follow the links to see the recording list. The request process is
a bit verbose, but it really just comes down to sending me blank disks and return postage in return for recordings.
