Dear CitFers,

I climbed the stairs to our organ loft 24 years ago for the first time when I followed Bill Zeitler as Music Director. I was somewhere on a scale between terrified and exhilarated, what my know-it-all quantum-mechanic husband would call a mixed state, which could be forced into one definite state or the other by whatever happened next.

What happened next was that I fell in love with the people, the place, and the privilege of doing exactly what I wanted, which was to make music for us all to enjoy. And to write about it in such a way that none of us would have to take it more seriously than our temperaments permitted. If it has been less serious than your individual temperament favors, then I can only admire your personal gravitas. My friends and relatives always told me I was a failure at lofty; it is evidently something you are born with or not.

Thank you for allowing my imagination to run wild, for encouraging me and making a place for me in this church and community for all these marvelous years.
