Music. I count Carol as the one musician that taught me to be a more disciplined musician but to have fun. She always said that the formation of the musical group Three on a String, taught her that music was another way to be part of a life that held a way of making not only children happy but also adults who took happy feelings from the music she played on her hammered dulcimer. I can't imagine not having Carol in my life. I did and she was a special gift. To Roger, Ross and Glen, my sincere sympathy.
