A blind friend: BEV DECKER sat beside me in a little church orchestra in SACRAMENTO, CA. and played Clarinet. I had an old metal clarinet and tried to play it with him...after a few years, I learned a lot. He and his wife: VELMA also taught me BRAILLE for the BLIND. I got a "Slate and Stylus" and began to "write" BRAILLE. NOW a number of years later ( 1951 to now: 2006= 55 years later) BEV has passed away. His Widow VELMA called me one day from SACRAMENTO, CA and asked me a "remarkable question..."Harry, would you like to have BEV's "old wooden clarinet?" "He wanted me to ask you and give it to you"...WOW- that OLD WOODEN Clarinet from the Master Clarinet player, I knew (like Benny Goodman to me or Pete Fountain)....YES! I accepted the offer..! I now have that "Old Clarinet" and play it once in a while...Music just FLOWS from it...what a joy it is to play..! MEMORIES...yes, Ministry...yes! I have used BRAILLE for years for the BLIND. I have "headed up" The Deaf (sign language) and BLIND MINISTRIES of our Denomination on a National level. What is that in your hands? Tomorrow or this week I'll read a poem I wrote about HANDS....(Poetry in Motion) - YES...!
