Mr. McMillan,
I am so sorry that I won't be able to attend the services for Mrs. McMillan tomorrow. I very rarely get sick, but the doctor says I have bronchitis and an upper respiratory infection, and I don't want to spread to any one in Canajoharie. I have wonderful memories of my years in the band and orchestra program at Canajoharie. I wanted to be a music teacher from a very young age and you and Mrs. Mac gave me opportunities that made that possible. Who would have thought that I could take private viola lessons at Eastman? Mrs. McMillan gave me private piano lessons in high school and I'm sure I didn't pay for them. You invited me into your home (I remember your cat), you let me try any instrument you had available at the school and encouraged me to follow my dreams.
With 5 children in our family, I can't believe I got to audition at Potsdam and actually got to attend. I was very lucky to have two talented musicians as my teachers. Our orchestra and band were outstanding and I enjoyed playing in both.
I'm sure you have been missing her for a long time, but Mrs. McMillan is in a wonderful place now! Jeanette
