I have such interesting memories from my very first two years of teaching at Norco High School. I was blatantly educated about human nature and what it really takes to be a music director. Doug Kuhl was a Junior my second year there. Our friendship and working partnership has now lasted over 30 years. Kathy Whitescarver (Milner) went on to be a Choir Teacher and I still hear from others every now and then. Time to catch up.

I remember those first two years. I was so mad that Farmer left. (without telling us). I ended up leaving NHS during my Junior year but came back during my Senior. You were a good choir teacher! I remember playing for you at Nogales. I cant believe it has been 30 years! Music is still my life!

I remember the hostility from many of the members of New Generation that first year, and as a first year teacher, I didn't really have the experience to understand it. But I do now, having left 3 schools myself forcing the kids I left behind to have to deal with the transition with a new teacher. But you know, I have a lot of fond memories of Norco, and I enjoyed the semester you played for me at Nogales too. Time does go by fast doesn't it?

Always leave something to wish for; otherwise you will be miserable from your very happiness.

My brother David sang with new gen back in the day. I was reaching out to anyone who might have pics or video of him singing. I only have one video of his beautiful voice.

Hi Tracy,
I remember David very well. He had a beautiful voice and he performed solos for us on many occasions. Unfortunately, I only worked with David for one year, which happened to be my first year of teaching when I was not savvy enough to record anything. :( However, Chet Farmer, the prior director at Norco might have something if David was in choir then? Some of the students in Choir with him may have a recorded concert in their archives? Sorry I couldn't help more. :)
