She was Principal Keyboard with the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra for nearly forty years.

MEMORABILIA, dating from the 1950s to the year 2000.

Thank you. Thanks also to the KALAMAZOO SYMPHONY for their interest in this project,
and to author Zaide Pixley for permitting me to quote from her 1997 book, GREAT ENSEMBLE,
The Story of the Kalamazoo Symphony.
____________________________________________________________________________
Alice believed in the power of great symphonic music to uplift the human condition.
She was a musician among musicians, and relished the camaraderie of her orchestra
colleagues. She encouraged the uninitiated to discover the masterpieces of orchestral
literature. She instilled in her children a love of all the arts.
