A Note From Our Dean How did you like your e-cypher? A tremendous thanks to Mark Frazier for the hours spent getting the database together! I’m afraid the snail-cypher got stuck in the holiday mail. What a lot of money this saves - almost $100.00 in printing and $30.00 in postage!!! A good thing in these hard times. Let us know your feedback, and/or any changes you think would be helpful. If you have never attended a "Pedals, Pipes and Pizza" you are invited to our next program, Sat. March 7 at 10 am at Philips Exeter Academy Church, Exeter. I had the opportunity to attend Abbey Siegfried’s wonderful introduction to the organ to a large group of students at Andover a couple of years ago. So come one, come all and bring your students!
