The best laid plans...

Yesterday was a rest & recovery day from my trip to Kansas City. It was great to stay an extra night and have a visit with good friend Doug Lawrence and his family. I think I first met Doug while he was working at San Mateo Pres, and I was at Trinity in San Carlos. Over the years Doug and I have worked together on a whole bunch of projects, the first of which was the Sing! family of newsletters, which, in it's own way was a critical development in the way church music ministries communicated together and with each other. Two other friends were involved in Sing!: Allan Petker and Ed Lindquist. Doug and Margie plan to be at the party, so if you plan to come, make sure and find him (it won't be hard...he's the one that looks a bit like a bear and has the huge (and wonderful) baritone voice...).
