John A. Trainer Jr.

Mr Trainer was our music teacher at HHS. I graduated in 1970. He also tutored me at his home in playing the trombone. " You can´t make music without first listening. You must listed to everyone around you to harmonize and you must listen to the audience." How simple but how profound. A seed planted in each of his students who listened to him. Like any seed how many trees grew- how many fruits came from each tree-and yet again how many more seeds from each fruit and how many more seeds. Generations of my medical students have been taught to listen first. How many parents have repeated the mantra. We are still listening. God rest Mr Trainer´s soul and grant peace to all who he loved
