WILLIAM SCRIBNER

My previous entries remain as heartfelt and sincere. A summer without Bill and BAE will always be a little less meaningful.

The COVID pandemic and shutdown have allowed time to reflect on meaningful people and events. My collaboration with Bill and BAE falls into that category.

As a boat sailing away from a shore, those good times with Bill become more distant. But the memories remain close by, clear and dear.

My sincere condolences to Marsha Heller, Louise Scribner and their families. Although I was only on the BAE Board a short time, it was a pleasure working with Bill. His memory will live on in every BAE music performance!

I was very sorry to hear of Bill's passing.
It was a wonderful experience to work with him on an arts project for the Ensemble. Hs dedication to music and helping others will be missed so much.

My condolences to the family on the passing of William Scribner. I am sure Mr. William could relate to Psalm 108:1 - just as the psalmist made music with his whole being, I'm sure Mr. William loved music the same way. May you draw comfort from listening and sharing memories with the family and may you also draw comfort from God, who gives comfort in all our trials.

Dear Marsha, Louise and the rest of the Scribner circle,
So sorry to read about Bill's passing. Truly the end of an era. BAE was and is a major factor in my musical life. Ergo, Bill was all of that as well. My best wishes to all of you.

I was saddened to read of Bill's death in the NY TIMES today. I have many memories of him from my years in New York and I extend my sympathies to his family and friends. Barbara
