Everett's Organ Recital 2014

Everett took organ lessons starting in the summer of 2013 from Carol Dean and then gave this organ recital in the fall of 2014 which marked the end of his lessons. Our neighbor Richard Adams made a high quality recording for us and here it is. Unfortunately there's no video, just audio.

Here's a recording from an earlier recital at a church in Provo with a pipe organ with a less-than-steady cameraperson (probably me):

Here's the recital program with a few issues:

Trio by Krebs

Liester Jesu, wir sind hier by Bach

Herzlich tut mich Verlangen by Brahms

Allein Gott by Bach

In Humility, Our Savior arr. by Bush

All Creatures of Our God and King arr. by Bush

Book Review: Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper

Bruce and Michelle organized the activities and did a good job. I enjoyed myself! Hopefully lots of other people did too. We showed up on Wednesday afternoon and enjoyed a taco salad dinner, served by Neil and Kristie's family. We also worked on two mixer games: a word search with the names of all 100 Hansen family members as well as a Bingo card that involved finding people with different attributes like recent high school graduation, birthdays in certain months, etc. The word search was definitely the most popular. Also popular was playing Nine-Square and Sandy Pickle (a cross between pickle ball and badminton). Thys and Katrina might have won! After dinner, we had an FHE activity/lesson. Liz had made a book with stories of the first ancestors to join the church. She had selected different stories for us to act out in g...

Hansen Family Reunion 2024, Thursday afternoon

For lunch on Thursday, Lauren and Kurt made Cafe Rio which was delicious. On Thursday afternoon, we had free time at the lake. Heidi and Aaron rented a pontoon boat and took people out for rides. This was very popular. Some of us went on the kayaks and/or swimming or just hung out on the beach.
