| There are those who come into our lives that we never forget. Even though I am much older now than I was when I was first introduce to Mrs. Lindstrom, I will never forget her. I truly think that hardly a days goes by that I don't think of her. I began taking voice lesson from Mrs. Lindstrom at Malone College in 1972 when I was 12 and continued until I graduated from high school. My family moved to Texas after I graduated from high school so I never saw her again, but only talked to her on the phone. The thing I remember most about her is how much she believed in me and how that inspired me. I also remember many times when I know she didn't feel well but she was always there for me. She opened my world to different styles of music and I think this exposure has molded me to be the person I am today. I have a daughter of my own who is now 12. She has been in the Texas Girls Choir www.texasgirlschoir.org for 3 years. I think it is because of Mrs. Lindstrom that the music in this family still goes on. Thank you for the beautiful tribute of someone who will forever be in my heart! Carla Cunningham Parvin Fort Worth, Texas Hi Shari: I found your website on your aunt, Mrs. Lindstrom. I attended Mount Union from 1969 thru 1973. My major instrument was tuba, but I took several terms of voice lessons from Mrs. Lindstrom mostly to learn how to breath. Mr. Lindstrom was my Music Theory prof. They were a great couple. Both were VERY caring and supportive of each student. All the students loved them. I remember visiting their home in several time. I found your site as I was doing a search on Mr. Lindstrom. I remember him telling a story about how he used to improvise on the organ for a radio show while in New York. I thought I remembered him saying that he actually improvise on the organ while Dr. Theremin improvised on his eerie sounding electronic instrument. (that is heard in a lot of science fiction movies of the 50's and 60's - "moog"?). I must be wrong on the story, because I just learned that Dr. Theremin returned to Russia before WWII, so Dr. Lindstrom must have been performing with someone else playing the Theremin instrument. I do remember the story about Tony Randall babysitting Jon. Karl Parks Orlando, FL |
