Mary Maxwell Forsyth Scharf

My beloved Miss Forsythe was one of those rare teachers that stays in your heart for a lifetime. I can still remember her singing for the parents at a 6th District choral evening. She introduced me to rock operas (Tommy), classical music (The Peer Gynt Suite), folk music (Dylan, Denver, and Diamond). I stayed in contact for 4 decades but only saw her a few times. Once in Boston, once in Delaware after we moved here, and once many years ago when I was visiting Baltimore when I was in the Navy. Her love of music was my love of music. I loved singing because of her. I will miss her so very much.
