I will never forget Bruce singing “Tu lo sai” at vocal competitions. As I learned later, it was not the  usual arrangement of the song, much more romantic than baroque, and it was lovely. For years afterwards, every time I heard that song, I thought of Bruce [just as I never heard “Un bel dì” from Madama Butterfly without thinking of Lynda Placek’s glorious rendition.] We were very lucky to have such talented singers in our choir. 

I've got a few stories about Bruce.  I'll go with first.  Possibly the first day of school when he came to Johnson school.  I think his parents were from Europe.  He had on lederhosen.  A boy with leather shorts in 3rd grade was almost a scandal.  Bruce learned to fit in with the Bensenville crowd.  It was a long time ago.  I hope I got part of the story correct.   Curt
