I would really like to thank all the folks from Rocket City Chorus for their hard work selling Singing Valentine’s and to Eight Feet Wide (Jerry Wilhoite, Ralph Cobb, Mel White and David Murphree), Extended Chords (David Gilfilen, Dick Savage, Frank Houck and Jim Priestle) and The Rocketeers (Tony Vollers, AD Barksdale, John Charlton and Jim Savage), the quartets which delivered the Singing Valentine’s. I know all the folks The Rocketeers sang to thoroughly enjoy receiving the SV. Jim Savage did a wonderful job again this year coordinating this event and ensuring all SV went off without a hitch. I will look at our Chorus and ask someone to step up and work with Jim next year. Please consider this position, it is not a full time commitment, but really only 1 maybe 1 ½ months long. Our next big event is singing our National Anthem for the great fans of the Huntsville Havoc on 29 Feb. We will meet outside the Von Braun Civic Center ticket office at 6:00 P.M. We will wear our red chorus shirts, black pants and black shoes. We may want to wear a shirt underneath or bring a lite jacket as the VBC can be a little chilly for some folks.
- Thanks, John
