It was at one of Mrs. Roose’s piano recitals in Charter Oak when she played Rachmaninoff’s Prelue in C-Sharp Minor. I was blown away by her talent. This recital must have been back in the late 40’s.

My condolences go to Charles and all the family.

That life is lived not without questions…not without shrillness and fist shakings…but it is a life where comfort is found in the Lord, especially for you in music. God’s blessings, dear friend…Jesus loves you…and so do I!…Tom

I’ve just been catching up on your blog, and I am inspired by your grace and fortitude. I fondly remember your beautiful and idyllic home in Nebraska, which always struck me as an ideal artistic retreat. Happy 50th anniversary to you and Charles! True poetry is difficult indeed, but I remember reading a fine poem from your pen on this very blog a few months ago!

I’m currently doing an artistic retreat of my own at the True Color Museum in Suzhou (about a half hour train ride + a twenty minute cab ride from Shanghai). I’m about 2/3 through a 6-month artist residency here, working on some music and video projects. I just got back from a little tour of Germany with a trumpet player friend of mine about three weeks ago; you can hear one of our live shows on my web page, if you are so inclined. I’ve also been getting into
algorithmic video, which I am happy to share with you.

I pray God’s peace upon you and your family. Warm greetings to Charles and John-paul!

-Ben.

Until the shadows lengthen and the evening comes
And the busy world is hushed
And the fever of life is over and our work is done.
Then in thy mercy, grant us a safe lodging
And a holy rest
And peace at the last.
Amen.

An uncommonly wonderful prayer from The Book of Common Prayer

Dear Connie, Your words for all of us are precious indeed. We wish we could help carry you in a more tangible way. However, you are continually in our prayers and know that God hears every one of your conversations you have…although seemingly one-sided. You are loved by so many and know that our heavenly Father is surrounding you with His love and strong arms of comfort. With love to you and Charles tonight, Irene
