2007 was a very busy year. Grace ended up her year as P.E.O. State President. And, we travelled to England (our 4^th and “final” trip there... hmm, our 3^rd trip there, two years ago, was supposed to be our “final” trip there...)

2006 was a very eventful year for Grace. On May 20^th, she became the President of the Indiana State P.E.O. Sisterhood. She presided in this role until the end of State Convention in 2007. The theme for her year was “007 – BONDing Old & New Dreams”.

At this celebration, she received a number of gifts and the title of “Music Director Emeritus”. Then, on June 30th, she officially retired as she played and conducted her final service as Music Director of Irvington Presbyterian Church – dry eyes could not be found as she played “The Lost Chord.” It should be noted, she was replaced by two men! Here are some pictures:
