Recital and Graduation




Collette presented her senior vocal recital in the David O. McKay Fine Arts Auditorium on BYU-Hawaii campus. Here she is with her voice teacher, Sister Joann Ottley, wife of Gerald Ottley, former Mo-Tab director. She performed Italian, French, German, and English songs in Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Contempory styles, for a total of 18 songs. Dale and I felt very blessed to be able to be there and hear her sing once more!

Collette graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Vocal Studies, Saturday, June 23rd. It was a wonderful ceremony, with Elder Richard G. Scott as the keynote speaker. She was privileged to sing for Elder Scott and Elder Ralph Kerr, Commissioner of Church Education, at the Graduation Banquet Luau Thursday night. We were on the same plane home with them, too, so knew all would be well with our flight! It is fun to have her home again. She is presenting her BYU-Concert Choir Tour to China and Mongolia tonight for our Young Single Adult Branch Family Home Evening. It was like a mission for her!
