Dr. Charles K. Pickering

Mr. Pickering was my favorite teacher. Great band director, great teacher, (one year if his music theory class helped me to jump to 1st semester junior year class in college), and great friend!! Lost track of him once he left New Milford High School. Fred Miller - Class of 1969

In 1955 in New Milford NJ CKP put a trombone in my hands and was a mentor thru high school and into my college years. He was a leader, a mentor and a friend and it has been too many years since we last spoke. I can hear him wailing on his trumpet even today.....rest well my friend.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I am thinking of you and always feel free to call me. Keep the memories and the good times together.
