Thank you so much, Bebhinn! It was great having you come back and perform at 91¶ÌÊÓƵ with me and other faculty a few years ago. Blessings to you and your family!

Thank you very much for your kind comment and good wishes, Dawnelise. Your son will be well taken care of by other 91¶ÌÊÓƵ music faculty. It’s a wonderful community!

So good to hear from you, Val! I have been intending on getting in touch with Nancy when we move to Wichita. Please have your brother introduce himself to me at this summer’s Bach Festival concerts. I’d love to meet him and his wife. I hope our paths will cross again soon!

Thank you very much for your good wishes, Roman. I fondly remember teaching your daughter violin and you, viola! It was wonderful to have you read Robert Morgan’s poetry as part of my last orchestra concert at 91¶ÌÊÓƵ. That was a treat for us all!

It has been my pleasure to serve at 91¶ÌÊÓƵ and in the Bach Festival! I hope to see you this June at some concerts!

I think back now to how much patience she showed me, even when I was NOT the model student!
91¶ÌÊÓƵ will not be the same without you, Joan. I will be praying for you as you begin your new journey.

Her bubbly personality and warm reception at the Academic open house encouraged Jonathan to continue to use his musical talent at 91¶ÌÊÓƵ even though he is not a music major. Thank you Joan for caring first about the student.

God’s blessings upon you as you start a new chapter in your musical career. You will bless the students and the community!

I am sure you remember that another EMF violinist teaches and performs in Wichita, Nancy Luttrell.
My brother and his wife have enjoyed your performances in the Shenandoah Bach Festival.
Best regards,
Val Gross

She did so much to advance “strings” at 91¶ÌÊÓƵ including representing the institution in national venues. Disappointing to lose her from 91¶ÌÊÓƵ due to cut-backs, but another college in Kansas will become richer with her presence. Blessings to you Joan as you venture forth.

I truly enjoyed being one of your colleagues in the arts and humanities. I admire the way you persistently championed the musical arts, opportunities for non-music majors to make music, and the whole liberal arts approach to education. Huge congratulations on all your contributions. Wishing you great blessings as you go, but with hopes it won’t mean a lot less performances by Musica Harmonia in Harrisonburg; after all, Diane is still here!
