ACDA Member Lost to West Nile

by Leave a Comment


Sometimes, news of dreaded conditions or situations seem far-removed from our individual spheres.  We watch news of storms, of tragic events, or of epidemics and silently comfort ourselves thinking that it happens to “other” people.
 
Not so today.
 
The West Nile virus has come close to home with the passing of ACDA leader Richard Wesp on Tuesday, September 18.  You can view the story from Cincinnati’s WLWT-TV.

  1. You’ll be remembered, Mr. Wesp,
     
    even from this side of the ocean, in Slovenia.
    I’ve met You a couple of times, talked with You, and every time received warm replies and knowledgeable instructions.
     
    Thank You,

  2. We have also learned of tenor Peter Marvit, who was shot to death in an apparent robbery outside his home, less than thirty minutes after his weekly rehearsal with the Baltimore Choral Arts Society.  (See the link in ChoralNews here.)
