For Regina – Happy Anniversary

February 17 is our wedding anniversary, (1968 – 46 years).  SlenderString10Good friend James Oestereich, composed and played a song “For Regina.”  He gave me the CD today.  I didn’t tell him that tomorrow is our wedding anniversary.  He has been working on this piece of music for some time.  His giving it to me today is special. James is a very accomplished musician.  He has a published book titled “Improvising and Arranging on the Keyboard”.  This song is a tribute to Regina’s spirit and her life. Thank you, Jim.

Also as part of this anniversary celebration, I am adding this photo of a painting Lonnie Helgeson created for Regina’s memorial service.  Thank you, Lonnie and Stefan.
