30 years ago – April 26, 1991
An enthusiastic crowd of 70 or more persons turned out last Sunday afternoon to hear voice, violin, viola and piano combine in music in the beauty of St. James historic sanctuary. Fran Cooke, Andrea Euser, Naomi Fellows, Emma Jo Hill, and Anne and Bob Hunter combined their talents for performances of several numbers that covered a wide range of music. The recital was organized by Naomi Fellows with assistance from Anne Hunter, to benefit the floor renovation and carpeting of the sanctuary. The new carpet, which has been in place since mid-March, is a replica of the carpet laid in 1909. Saint James thanks all who attended for their support and generosity, both of applause and gifts, the performers who shared their talents, and Naomi for her efforts in putting the program together. Watch for more information on the Community Potluck and program May 19th. The Denver Chamber Choir will present Mozart’s Vespers at 5 p.m. with the potluck following at 6.
