Mel Ponzi has found another lost sheep -- Stephen J. Clark, cello '54 - '56. The
biography section now includes
him, Ron Hasselman, and an updated bio for Chris Earnest. A few more reunion photos have been added.
Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville, named for
7ASO conductor Ken Schermerhorn, opened on Sept. 9.
Former 7ASO colleagues Mike Comins, Tom Crown, and Charles Briefer were there just a week later to
hear a concert. Mike wrote this report on the trip and the hall.
A few words on format: in the top part of this home page, the colors of this site and the
alternate site
are different, but will not change. The lower part will be blue, except that sections
having changed since the last update will have a new background color each time to make it easy to spot the
changes.
