Excerpt from ... Marengo 175 years – 1835, Page 21
“Arlene Steinke This 1960’s photo is of Arlene Steinke and her “music makin’ ” group. In her later years, she often entertained the residents of Florence Nursing Home. Pat Ray Higgins was another resident who brightened the lives of others with her keyboard talents. Marengo & Music have been constant companions throughout its many years. Carolyn Coon was instrumental in the production of music at the Opera House. She also was equally important in the early musical education and training of local composer and musician, Egbert VanAlstyne. Of course, her own son, Adelbert (Dell) Coon, had his own orchestra, as did his father. His sphere of “gigs” was more often in larger towns like Chicago. In our current era, these real, these live people have been replaced with electronic equipment that often seems to have only one level of loudness...LOUD! (WHAT did you say??)”
