Don,

Is James Schoephlin still at WSU? Are you studying Clarinet with him?
He's the best. We played in the same high school clarinet section together for
one year. He was a Senior and I was a lowly Freshman. Tell him hello from
Cheryle Pierce. I don't know if he would still remember me. It's been
awhile:-)
