|
Kathie Bracy knew at a very young age that music would be a part of her life, even if she didn't know in what capacity. Now, she is celebrating her 50th season with the Lakeside Symphony Orchestra (LSO).
As one in a family of five musical children, she understood that she would take instrument lessons at some point. She was reluctantly scheduled to begin piano lessons when a harp instructor moved to town and changed her plans by putting out a call for harp students.

Guest Preacher, Aug. 21: The Rev. Dr. Peggy Streiff
"I don't remember a time when I did not know the love of God," says the
Rev. Dr. Peggy Streiff about the blessings in her life. "I love the church, and I love God's people."
The Rev. Dr. Streiff began her professional career as a sixth grade teacher in her hometown of Memphis, Tenn., after earning her bachelor's degree from Purdue University, while also serving as a youth director at her home parish, St. Luke's United Methodist Church (UMC).
It was while serving as a youth director that she received her call to ministry. During a time where there were few female role models or mentors within the church, the Rev. Dr. Streiff was ordained as a deacon in 1973 and then as an elder in 1979.
