Looking Back on the Dec.
19th Heat Glow Party
The tradition of a Heat Glow party for the Harmonizers continued
this year on Tues. the 19th at the home of Jack and Pat Pitzer near
Hayfield High School. Festivities started at 7:30 pm and the chapter leaders
declared no meeting or rehearsal that nite.
A huge crowd came to the party bringing goodies share. The Pitzers
prepared the recipe of holiday punch that was from the recipe passed down from
chapter leaders in the late 1960s when the Heat Glow event began. In those
days, the chorus sang for the annual burning of the greens (discarded Christmas
trees) in the City of Alexandria.
As expected, a few songs were sung and a lot of good treats were
consumed by the members and their significant others. There were some recipe
exchanges for sure. For sure, the house was packed!!
There were two memorials held recently for the Harmonizer
family. Bob Wachter’s wife Jean was
celebrated in Alexandria on Dec. 20th. A celebration for the life of
Mark Klostermeyer’s mother who died
Dec. 2 was held on Dec. 24th in Mark’s
framing shop which was in honor of her having started the family business years
ago. Also the chapter was saddened to learn of the auto accident a few days
before Christmas that took the life of Alan
and Jan Lamson’s daughter-in-law
in CT.
Until next time –
