(Continued on page 4) Sandy, Utah Sep 17, 2020 From the Prez any thanks to Jack Martin for his generous offer of launching the BQPA/Pioneers M bulletin. As we continue to hunker down in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic, it is tempting to dwell on the opportunities we have lost. Packing ourselves into meeting room, bars, restaurants or other spaces for the purpose of close harmony singing has been a great joy in past years. Suddenly we’re deprived of that pastime. Just ‘taint fair! Last week, Raymond Schwarzkopf put together a Zoom meeting for your BQPA/ Pioneers Board and a few other members. Not a single note was sung, but we had a great time visiting and catching up on the news, both the hopeful and the sad. The experience of the virtual get-together made me remember the phenomenon we all have experienced through the years: we came for the music but stayed for the fellow- ship.
