JAVS Spring 1994

4

I know that we have still just reached puberty. As local chapters develop and new leadership emerges, only then will we really begin to realize the true greatness of the potential of our very special AMERICAN VIOLA SOCIETY.

Alan de Veritch, President

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

My term as Secretary of the AVS is coming to a close, and I have enjoyed communicating with all of you. I especially want to thank you for your kind concern about me after the Northridge earthquake. I am fine, and my house is still in the same place. We had many cracks in the interior and exte rior walls, and a great deal of glass and other fragile items broke, but the violas are all fine (I think I received a sound post adjustment, however).

Again, let me thank you for your cooperation and patience with me, and let the American Viola Society flourish!

Pamela Goldsmith, Secretary
