Oberlin Project THANK YOU

I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has helped to make this project a reality:

  • My classmates, Greer Ellison and Betty Hunter Shultz, who showed their support from the start.
  • Oberlin Conservatory’s Dean David Stull who encouraged me immediately to pursue this venture and who gave this quote: “I am very pleased to participate in such a thoughtful and important project. The work of these great alumni is emblematic of the great spirit of the Oberlin Conservatory.”
  • SOHP’s lawyer, Christina Moser of Baker & Hostetler LLP, Cleveland, Ohio for providing countless hours of legal advice and the contracts for all involved.
  • Oberlin’s Alumni Office for helping with contact information, and with providing help with the trombone reunion choir concert program and attendee information.
  • Bill Hartzell, Hartzell Media Group, and Paul Eachus, Oberlin Media Specialist, for the transfer of reels to CDs.
  • Many Oberlin classmates/alum who were willing to provide reels or tapes or information readily, even if their own reels were not available for this project.
  • Marty Lydecker, Kathy and John Musat, Al Menfi, and Mr. Bosoti, Elizabeth Lydecker, Rita Dura, Katy Spinner, Laura Nary, Susan Grimm, and Matt Ginter for critiquing the pieces and giving their musical opinions for this project.
  • Megan Poletti, www.heypoletti.com who has been a HUGE help with the final and most important stages of the production of these CDs – the mastering and the uploading of all information unto our production site.
  • The Sounds of Hope Project Board, especially Laura Nary and Susan Grimm. Laura helped me with the project outline and presentation to Dean Stull, and accompanied me to Oberlin on several occasions. Susan, our writing specialist and website blogger, has edited all blogs, letters, correspondence, and been extremely supportive throughout this project.
  • My husband, Marty, for standing by me, listening to my frustrations, whining, and anxieties and always supporting me with a smile and patient encouragement.
  • And to all the performers involved. Please see bio and listings that will soon be added to our website.
