This month is also when we vote for next year’s Board of Directors. Please take the time to cast your vote when you get the ballot in the mail. Thank you to all the Board Members who have worked so hard to bring music into your lives. And of course we have to thank the volunteers who mail out the newsletters to you.

Happy birthday, Frank Woerner! Tom Weir sent in the following about a musical celebration: The Nov. 1 Folk Open Sing at the Ethical Culture Society in Prospect Park was an extraspecial occasion, with more than 50 people showing up to wish longtime Pinewoods member Frank Woerner a happy 80th birthday. The brainchild of Alison Kelley, who cofounded the Open Sing more than two decades ago and began planning the party in June, the event came as a complete surprise to Frank. Alison coordinated the festivities with Frank’s son and daughter. Attendees enjoyed sandwiches, soft drinks and snacks in addition to birthday cake and a lot of great music. After recovering from the initial surprise, Frank joined others in singing a number of favorite songs, as well as leading some from his own extensive repertoire, among them “Jock Stewart,” who, like Frank, is “a man you don’t meet every day.” Dan and Vicki Horowitz are proud of their sons and their families. Their oldest son, Alex and his wife, Emily, are making the world a more loving place by fostering young babies. Roger and his wife Anne Marie have a “fabulous” little girl, a toddler named Zora Frances, now 15 months old. She loves music and at this point in her development, she enjoys dancing with her shoulders!! She loves it when her dad plays the guitar and is particularly delighted when Grandpa Dan strums away. Both families live in Washington, DC. Needless to say, Dan and Vicki visit DC as often as they can. Joanne Davis’ son Adam, who lives in India, and goes by the name Ram Sharan on social media, has over 400 Facebook followers and counting. Her daughter Naomi just opened an office in Boise for acupuncture and Chinese herbology. Meanwhile, continued on next page 7 Folk Process, continued from previous page daughter Rachel spent Thanksgiving in Jerusalem and played Scrabble with an Israeli club that plays in English. Joanne’s sevenyearold grandson Ben now reads to her. An objective Joanne says that he is “phenomenal, of course.” If you have news to share, contact me at 372 Central Park West; #15B, New York, NY 10025; 2126636309, [email protected].
