Our thanks to all who made the event come together and those that shared words, music and song that day.
The program was a wonderful blend of music, song, memories and stories from Claire’s friends, students and family. Download a pdf copy of the program here. Additions to the program not shown on the pdf are as follows: Musical Interlude by Tim Merton, Cello and Amy Cann, piano; Memories and Reflections by Mary Hayward; George Soulos, piano playing Adagio cantabile movement from Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No.8 in C minor, op. 13 “Pathétique”; Memories and Reflections by Waew Cowles; and Molly handing out past student papers. Below are images from the program.
Molly and Claire’s niece, Jody, made a wonderful display in the gallery area of the Currier Center filling it with classroom images, family photos, news clippings, awards and artwork. It was wonderful to see people rediscovering memories triggered by class photos. Food and beverages, donated by members of the community, were enjoyed outdoors after the program. And many in attendance took time to write or draw on commemorative cards. Photos of all these activities in no particular order are below.
