Hello, Tinker!

Thank you for your help in pinning down how long this tradition has been going on. And yes, I would also consider forty years of having males perform the "Seven Sisters" song at those events to be a tradition.

Tinker, please convey my heartfelt thanks to Glenda and other posters to your Facebook page and/or Eagles Nest group for sharing information about that song.

It's my understanding from your response to my pm that the males who sing that "Seven Little Sisters" song that you posted in this thread on 23 Aug 09 - 01:59 PM are usually high school age high achieving students. Also, I noted in the photos you sent me that those Episcopal Diocese of Newark (New Jersey) sessions and events are multi-racial.

Those sessions sound like they are wonderful, life enriching experiences!

By the way, I'm from Southern New Jersey, and I graduated from a college in East Orange, which, as you know is a hop, skip, and a jump from Newark. I spent quite a bit of time in Newark, New Jersey, and have lots of good memories of that city.

Thanks again and best wishes,

Azizi
