Thank you for giving my daughter's their start in playing clarinet and flute. They both love music and the joy it brings.

Growing up, the Thiele family was on the opposite corner of our block. David and Judy were in Marriage Encounter with my parents, and like many who went to Mattoon schools, David provided our introduction to musical instruments and band. He was a good, Godly man, loved by all who had the pleasure to know him.

Mr. Theile was my 9th grade band director when I moved to Mattoon in 1968. He was nice.
