One of the two creators of the Corvallis Folklore Society, Nancy Spencer, died a few months ago. Nancy not only got CFS up and running, but she produced many, many concerts over the years, and performed in our area for many years, playing Flute, Recorder, Penny Whistle, and the musical saw (winning the first ever national musical saw playing championship)… After all her years in our community Nancy went down to Ashland, where she created another folklore society, and continued to perform. A memorial service for Nancy will be held in Ashland (with a song circle afterwards) on July 20th. I am wondering if anyone else is interested in going. I’d like to car pool, as it’s kind of a long drive down there. At least, long for me. If this is something you’d like to do, contact me at mjweiss@cmug.com Thanks, Mark Weiss
