    GREATER JEFFERSONTOWN HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER June 2014 Vol. 12 Number 3 June 2014 Meeting The June meeting will be Monday, June 2, 2014. We will meet at 7:00 P.M. in the meeting room of the Jeffersontown Library at 10635 Watterson Trail. The Greater Jeffersontown Historical Society meetings are now held on the first Monday of the even numbered months of the year. Everyone is encouraged to attend to help guide and grow the Society. June Meeting We are going to learn about the award winning Thoroughbred Chorus and then be entertained by them. The Thoroughbred Chorus was established in 1946 in Louisville as a member of what is now known as the Barbershop Harmony Society. The men originally met at the home of founder Fritz Drybrough and then for many years at the Rathskeller of the Seelbach Hotel in downtown Louisville, Kentucky. In 1978, The Thoroughbreds moved to the Old Lutheran Church building in Jeffersontown. It has since been renamed "Jim Miller Hall" to honor the late, great director of the chorus. They are a seven-time international champion chorus that is a part of the Barbershop Harmony Society. The Thoroughbred Chorus won the international championship in 1962, 1966, 1969, 1974, 1978, 1981, and 1984. The chapter has also produced several championship quartets including The Bluegrass Student Union, Interstate Rivals, Second Edition, and The Barons. August Meeting We are going to have the opportunity to visit the private museum in Soldier’s Retreat that is now owned by Brooks and Marilyn Bower. The dates in August will be between August 18 to the 31st.
