PHS choral director appreciates gifts

Editor,

I thank our community for their support and encouragement in enabling me to go to Washington, DC later this month. Your warm words, extravagant gifts and love have blessed me beyond words. I especially thank those who shared their musical gifts and joined me last week in the "Mr. B. goes to Washington" recital.

It was a marvelous evening of music and a real joy to see the vast amount of talent in our little community. Thanks to all who attended and shared your financial blessings. To my wonderful students, thanks for all your hard work and efforts, I am lucky enough to be recognized for this award. Last, but certainly not least, my wife and family have been so supportive and encouraging and to them, I owe my undying gratitude.

Thanks, Mission Valley, for making this such a great place to live and work.
