Memoir
In choir Mr. A and I had an agreement..
My hair was a bit longer than he liked.. so we agreed that I would be in choir but would not be in any performances.
The day before the performance a few class members including Valentine Barcenes and Katy Goddard asked "... is Mark singing?" Mr A looked toward me and i told the class of our agreement.
Gradually members of the choir said they would not perform if I was not. I tried to reason with the class and finally Mr. A agreed that I would perform.
He was wonderfully good natured about it and later took me aside and said "If I remember you for anything I will remember you for what just happened here today."
Later as I became more involved with music we would have good talks and became good friends.
