SONG FOR ANNIKA

Shannon Tichenor - Annika Knudson - Jayke Workman - Erin Scherl

What a thrill! We listen to Kansas Public Radio (Lawrence, KS) every morning.

If you scroll down (on this blog), you will see that I heard our "own" Scott Tichenor's name on KPR one morning as he and his wife, Amy and their daughter, Shannon, made a money contribution to KPR during their "drive". This gave me opportunity to find out more about Scott, which at this time I even had an e-mail from Stu and heard a little bit about Steve. That was a very exciting time for me. I checked out Scott's web site. http://www.mandolincafe.com/

This tells about Scott and his business . . . . . . . . . The Mandolin Cafe http://www.mandolincafe.com/us.html

On Scott's web site, he had a link to a story about his daughter, Shannon, and her friends. This was a very touching story just to read it.

And, of course, it made me just a wee bit proud to think that Scott was a former student of mine at Paradise as all of my students are very special to me and I have such wonderful and fond memories of them.

This morning - again on Kansas Public Radio - they had an interview with Shannon and her friends. Such a touching story and so remarkable!
