How fortunate the churches are to have Phyllis for such an incredibly long time. The organist at our Congregational church in Osage showed me where she kept the key to the organ when I was a teenager, and she and a succession of ministers pretended they didn't know how often I came in at night to "practice."
Not included in this ramble is that we're going to establish a scholarship program in Phyllis's name to offset the costs of keyboard lessons for anyone in the congregation willing to make the effort. It's a long-term investment in the hope we can "raise up our own". We'll see...
My pleasure! Glad to think you appreciated. Phyllis is special... but then, in my experience, most church musicians are. Thanks for reading and responding. --K

I hope that yields another Phyllis!
Very rarely does the role of the church musician get such loving attention. Thank you.
