    Glee Club-Choirs

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the glee club or the choirs at USNA. My son is on the CVW coming up next weekend, and I was wondering if he could meet the choir director. He has sung in the chamber choir at his hs for four years. Would this be okay to do?

    Anyone from NJ?

    I've stayed on the bay side 40-something Street, and then for several years on 90th right before Townsend's Inlet. My brother in law owned a place on 86th near the beach and then on the point in Townsend's Inlet. My dream is to have a house there too! Is your BGO Dave D.?
