OAK PARK, IL — They are coming. They are returning to these villages from all over the country. They are coming from local communities, too, to join current Oak Parkers and River Foresters.
Some are professional musicians and music educators, while some are church or community choir members. Some have not sung in a choral setting for many years.
But they are coming together — upward of 200 OPRF alums — to honor the man and once more sing under the choral direction of Bob Fuller.
“I’m overwhelmed. I really can’t say what it means to me without becoming emotional,” said Fuller. When asked how it is that so many former students would return for such an event, he attributed it to “the fact that they liked what we did and want to get together and do it again.”
