Fairfax County supervisors on Sept. 24 added to the inventory of athletic elds in Tysons by unanimously approving a proposal by PS Business Parks LP to build a eld at 8229 Boone Blvd. The 330-by-180-foot, pub- licly accessible eld will have synthetic turf, 15-foot over- runs and a containment area up to 24 feet tall to keep balls from exiting the site. The eld will be used for regulation games for ages 12 and under, plus practice by adults. Located on 2.49 acres, the eld will replace a planned extended-stay hotel that never was built at the site. The eld will have lighting, an equipment-storage shed and at least 25 parking spaces that would be shared with a nearby of ce building. Specta- tors will bene t from two sets of bleachers, plus benches, bicycle racks and portable toi- lets.

www.sungazette.news October 10, 2019 3 Q&A: Vienna Resident Re ects on 50 Years Behind the Organ at Local Lutheran Church In November, Dr. Roy Guenther will retire from the posts of organist and choirmaster at Resurrection Lutheran Church in Arlington after 50 years there. The Sun Gazette recently caught up with the Vienna resident, getting his thoughts on the past, the present – and the future.

Think back to the late 1960s. What was it that attracted you to the position at Res- urrection Lutheran, and what do you think has led to your being part of it for a half- century? In 1968, I moved to Washington to join the U.S. Marine Band. The year before, I had entered an organ-composition contest run by the then-organist at Res- urrection Lutheran. I didn’t win, but the organist remembered my name when she later saw that I had moved to D.C. and joined the local chapter of the organists’ Guild. She called me to sub for her in January 1969 for three months, then she decided to give up the job, and the pastor asked ries are the concerts for trombone and or- Likewise with religion: the Old Testa- try to me, as best I recall, nor do I remem- me to take over, which I did in September gan that my wife, Eileen, and I played in ment is replete with references to music of ber ever feeling moved to consider that as 1969. the U.S. and abroad in the ’80s and ’90s. all kinds.
