Choir Director

Dad has always been the ward choir director.  My entire childhood that is what he did.  Shortly after they moved to Hemet he got the job again and after they moved to Provo he got the job again.  He was released as Choir Director within the last year.  It was bitter sweet for him to not direct the choir any more.  In true Dad fashion he continued to attend choir but now as a choir member and not as the director.

One Sunday as choir director in El Cajon he got up from the choir seat to direct and he stumbled a bit.  He caught himself quickly, took a moment to make sure he could stand and proceeded to direct the choir as if nothing was wrong.  After the meeting was over the truth came out.  His foot had fallen asleep wihout him knowing it - when he went to stand he had no feeling in his foot and he twisted his ankle pretty badly.  He limped out of church that day but the choir did sing.  Dad felt that if he was going to hold weekly choir practice then the choir should sing every week and we did.
