Connie was a bright spot in anyone’s day whenever she was around as a young woman growing up in our Wilmington musical community. She had extraordinary violin talent for a young person, a tenacious spirit, and a gift of laughter during her lessons. It’s wonderful to see her photo and to hear what she is doing now.

I saw Connie a few months ago! It was really wonderful. At that time, she wanted to play in an orchestra and believe it or not, MY ENGINEER HUSBAND found a good orchestra match for her. Love you Connie!!
