I am a lifelong member of the Episcopal church, born in Colorado Springs. I attended Grace and St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Colorado Springs until relocating to Denver. I was led to St. Michael and All Angel’s Parish through my friend, Dan Jones, the organist and choirmaster. After retirement, Dan and I moved to Arizona in 2013 and fortunately, we found St. Peter’s Church.
