I was sorry to hear about my friend Dave's passing. When his wife's health declined he asked me to take his business manager role for the chorus. I rode with him to COTS training in his F-150 and many times from practice when I was recovering from a seizure. He was showing signs of dementia and had occasional falls while caring for his grandson so he moved to Alexion. We talked several times by phone during Covid restrictions. When Sheila and I made final plans we chose a cemetary plot at Mount Olivet. Unknown to us Dave's plot was one row away. I saw that his plot had a bench. I mentioned this to Dave and he said visitors to our plot were welcome to use his bench. He would put up a coffee can for donations. I'm guessing he never did that. Rich Ptacin

| Script For Thursday's Meeting |
7:00 PM - Thursday - The meeting is only on Zoom this week.
Repertory: America the Beautiful, Armed Forces Medley, California Here I Come, Can You Feel the Love Tonight, Darkness on the Delta, Georgia on My mind, God Bless America, Hello Mary Lou, I’m Sittin’ on Top of the World, It’s the Music that Brings Us Together, Let’s Get Away from it All, Old Folks at Home, Star Spangled Banner, Welcome Song, When She Loved Me, When There’s Love at Home, Yesterday, and You Tell Me Your Dream
Our overall numbers were down on the Zoom meeting, but I understand why some chose not to participate. We listened to several song possibilities for our Christmas Show, and got a nice introduction to our new Website from David Murphree. We are slowly moving into the 21st Century! Let Jimmy know your thoughts concerning songs to be sung at this year’s Show!
Please know that our decision to cancel in person meetings for a couple of weeks was made out of extreme caution for our membership. No one wanted to put things on hold, but all felt it was the right call at this time. Let’s keep both Ron’s in our prayers as they are experiencing health issues. Zoom with us next Thursday if able; looking forward to seeing everyone at Ponder’s on September 3rd! Until then, KTTWS! SteveG
When it's...darkness due to delta
and our hearts are feeling gloom
When it's darkness due to delta
Let us linger in the shelter of a Zoom
Men are singing all around me
We’re singin' sweet and low
Lord, I'm lucky its not found me
That would be to me a really awful blow
We’re Lounging by the TV
Listenin' to our Director calming our woes
There’s Laughter on the TV
Cause no one's heart is heavy
Time to learn new songs for future shows
When it's darkness due to delta
And the end is not in sight
When it's darkness due to delta
Let’s prepare for when it is a normal night
Let’s prepare.......for when it is.......a normal night.
