But I'm an amateur musicion (cello)and would like to become involved in getting students interested in playing instruments. I was involved with the Musical Memories program last Spring and was very excited to see how enthusiastic the 5th graders I worked with were about listening to, and playing music. Any ideas??

Her parents and grandparents owned the property on Farmer's lane and rented out the houses her father built there. The railroad used to go up Gail Gardner to Iron Springs, but the tracks were long gone when I roamed the area. My Grandpa Crotts owned the Borden's Dairy off Iron Springs Road, about where the stoplight is now. After that land was sold out of our family, my siblings and I have had frequent dreams of our idyllic childhood there. I've finally returned to give my children similar dreams.

I spent a lot of time in Prescott when I was growing up. It was for trail rides and the rodeo or visiting friends. I hope there are other events throughout the year. Thank You!
