John in Ole Choir

I am so proud of my son John being in the St. Olaf Choir. His mother and I were in the choir (founded in 1912) in the late seventies, and his older sister Christy was during 2004-2005. Now it's his turn, and it was our great joy to see him in concert in the Great Hall of Wharton Center for the Performing Arts at Michigan State University on February 8, 2007. But shortly after she snapped this picture, an usher came and busted my wife Michelle, confiscating her camera, so that she had to go and get it back later. (On campus, the ensemble is informally known as Ole Choir, pronounced OH-lee ... the first time my younger brother saw this, I was amused by his giving it the Mexican pronunciation of oh-LAY!)
