Christ Lutheran Church on Sumneytown Pike, Kulpsville, is nearing the end of its 175th anniversary year, so it’s the perfect time to take another look at the past.
This photo was submitted by Roy Overholtzer, and as he notes, the church has seen hundreds of musicians in its choir loft over the years.
Among the highlights have been the many junior choirs, he said, and this photo at the church door is of one of them.
It should jog quite a few 1961 musical memories, he said.
“But where’s the director?” he wrote. “Probably behind the lens.”
The young singers are identified as:
Top row: Linda Coughnauer, Nancy Metz, Karen Miller, Allen Harper and Ruby Bossert.
Second row from top: Nancy Mellor, Ron Schatz, Jim Godshall and Jack Godshall.
Third row from top: Karen Pfister, Karen Bowman, an unidentified person and Tom Landis.
Fourth row from top: Nancy Pfister, Gloria Schwoyer, Chris Lutz.
Front row: Betty Reese, Dennis Spiess and Kathy Reese.
Perhaps you were one of these young musicians or know one of them. They all certainly look happy to be a part of the music program at the church.
