I wish to extend my deepest condolences to the loved ones and friends of Wehlan McPherson.
I remember many of us who attended Kilgore College often gathered at the music building. Between classes, we would find an available practice room - tiny rooms equipped with only a piano and a mismatched bench - where we would sing and play the piano or just shoot the breeze.
One of my fondest memories is writing - at the request of one of the "Fresh Boys" a quartet comprised of Wehlan, Don Florey, Mike Perkins, and Randy Williams - an arrangement of Alfred Hay Malotte's "The Lord's Prayer" for them to sing in a family wedding. Later, they told me they received many compliments on their performance and the unusual arrangement of the lovely song. I was proud to have the ability to do that for such terrific guys. I'd do it a thousand more times just to hear those four voices once again.
Wehlan, Don, and Mike are back making beautiful music together. If that isn't Heaven, what is?##imported-begin##Betty Arnold Henderson##imported-end##
