We have enjoyed the Sanctuary Choir at First Methodist Church since 1946. I joined that choir that year and also discovered Virginia Durrett at that time. (You know the rest of that story).
I attempted to sing for thirty years, and Virginia stayed for forty years, singing many solos and ensembles. She still has a beautiful voice! The Church has had several very capable directors through all these years. Our present director, Lamar Drummonds, has done a splendid job for a long time now. We try to support this group whenever possible.
A few weeks ago, we provided World's Finest Chocolate hot fudge sundaes for the entire group after their Thursday night practice (42 persons showed up). We have had some experience in this line with former school teachers when I represented World's Finest Chocolate for fund-raising at their schools.
We enjoy doing this, and renew old acquaintances at the same time. Some of the present members were formerly some of Virginia's pupils when she was an elementary teacher. They recognized her immediately, even after many years of her retirement.
