Peace Concert

On the eve of 9/11/14, I took Stacy to hear the combined choruses of The University of North Florida, the Douglas Anderson Chorale and The Atlantic Coast Honor Chorus at St. John's Episcopal Cathedral.  The program was a mix of traditional hymns and spirituals, music exquisitely sung, in an exquisite setting, by students, who had only had, in some cases, only two rehearsals, this semester having just begun.

We have another new assistant, Jill from Germany, so last Saturday she and Amy and I took Kathy to the Cummer Art Museum.  For a relatively small museum, the Cummer has a very impressive permanent collection from Egyptian to Pre-Columbian to Impressionist, to Abstract painting and sculpture.  The English and Italian gardens, overlooking the St. Johns River, are every bride's dream of a reception venue.  There is also a newly added outdoor cafe.
