70-year veteran of a single choir

April 4, 2010 by Allen H Simon Leave a Comment

England — A man who joined a choir in 1940 in Somerset when he was eight years old has celebrated 70 years of singing with the same church group.
 
Mervyn Salmon, 78, became part of St Cuthbert’s Church choir in Wells when Winston Churchill was prime minister and King George VI was on the throne.
 
Mr Salmon was baptised and confirmed at the church and lives with his older brother in the house where he was born.
 

He said: “I’ve sung constantly for 70 years except during national service.”
