It is with great saddness that we announce the passing of our Friend
and Director,
Howard W. Foster
Howard passed earlier today, 4/25/2012, he had been with the band for
many years, and was our director for 30 years. Howard, shown here
as most of us will always remember him, looking over some piece of
music, will be greatly missed. He now joins his wife Debbie who
only just recently passed herself on a new journey, one we hope is
surrounded with music.
Thank you to everyone who has been kind enough to send Janet or me a
note of remembrance. We look forward to seeing you next week and
thanking for your loving thoughts.
Charles
