*Our Award of Harmony recipient for 2008 has brought harmony to the community as a servant. Our recipient has been active in the church community and has served as a city council member as well as on various boards and commissions. But music has been the real source of harmony in this person’s life – performing in symphonies and singing in choirs. More significantly, our award winner has also made music a career that has impacted all of our communities – since the 1940s he has really been the “Music Man”. Some of you will already know this leader of the band when I tell you that he has served as Director of Bands and Music Instructor for Southern Minnesota schools such as Welcome, Truman, Redwood Falls, Mankato Lincoln and Franklin Junior High, and until his retirement, right here in Mankato East High School. And if you were in any band in the area and marched in a local parade, our award recipient may have been the judge that handed you that 1st place trophy. If that wasn’t enough, our recipient has actually sung in a Barbershop chorus and a Barbershop quartet – obviously, harmony is what this person is all about!
