PREMIER PERFORMANCE OF "FOR STAN"

On May 11, 2011 the Nashua High School South gave the world premier
performance of a special band composition written by a classmate of
Stanford's, Andrew Cote.  Click

youtube of the performance of "For Stan".  Click

my description of the event.  It was an awesome tribute.


I think about Stanford every day. Stanford helps me keep life in perspective
and recognize what is truly important.

John
