I may be getting some of the details wrong, but when I was in 8th grade, Mr. Trautwein brought Nina Pelton, then a junior, I believe, over to our choir class to perform one of the songs from the show they were working on. (Hello, Dolly?) We were all mesmerized by her incredible voice and I remember hoping that, maybe someday, I'd be able to sing like that. Well I can assure you that I never came within a mile of Nina Pelton territory, but Mr. Trautwein gave me more opportunities than I ever imagined to perform. To this day l love when Christmas carols are on the radio and I can "pa rum pum pum pummmmmmmmm" along.

Cheryl, I remember being in the chorus of Oklahoma and watching you perform the role of Lori and thinking that maybe someday I'd be able to sing like you! So, you were my Nina Pelton! : )
