The visitation and memorial service for Janet Duncan was truly beautiful, and the room was full, standing-room only. About a dozen WSW members were in attendance, and it felt good to be a part of the circle of family and friends. I spoke with Janet’s children, Dorothy and James III, and suggested that we perform the Lauridsen O Magnum Mysterium in memory of Janet on May 16. They agreed that this was a fitting tribute. I hope that you’ll agree that this will be a beautiful way to remember Janet.

As promised, I have one more form to ask all the Chicago personnel to complete – and we need it completed by Monday evening. You’ll find it below. This data is very important, because it will pull together the information for purchasing the Chicago Symphony Orchestra tickets, confirm travel/hotel details, and (especially) collect important information for those requesting homestays. If you are traveling with us to Chicago, please complete this form before rehearsal on Monday night. Only one reply is needed from each WSW member traveling. We need to send this data to the Northshore hosts on Tuesday. (If you are not traveling with us, you do not need to complete the form.)

Check out the rehearsal plan for Monday, at TMH. See you then.
