One big miraculous thing

Singing at Yale is one big miraculous thing. And Fenno is everywhere in it. In the Glee Club, to be sure. But also in Battell and in the a capella groups, in the Freshman and Apollo Glee Clubs, and yes in the short-lived Yale Womens' Chorus. In collaborations with orchestras and soloists. In the graduate program, and just everywhere around New Haven. On the campus and in the alumni clubs. Yale singing is great and wondrous, so fine a whole, more than the parts. Fenno made it that way. Fenno built it and gave it to all who partake of it. He made it that way, and we are all grateful. We the singers, and we the university community. We are better for that wonderful thing, and better for the life and work and love of Fenno. To Carol and the family, thank you for sharing him with us.
Ellen R. Marshall, '71
