Lookout Mountain Convention / Memorial for Jerry

This is an announcement Jerry used to post every year.  This year I'm heartbroken that he's not here to do it himself:

The 107th Session of the Lookout Mountain Sacred Harp Singing Convention will take place on the fourth Sunday in August and Saturday before, which this year is 21-22 August, at Pine Grove Church, near Collinsville on Lookout Mountain, Alabama.  Directions to the singing can be found at http://www.fasola.org/maps/?index=177&size=small .  For more information about the convention, please contact Bud Oliver at (256) 523-3303.

Everyone knows that Jerry Enright loved Sacred Harp singing.  The Lookout Mountain Convention held a special place in Jerry's heart; he had been attending it faithfully every year for a long time before we met, and we certainly made sure never to miss it in all the years since we first met each other there in 1998.  For these reasons and more, Seamus, Erin and I feel that it is the most appropriate place for us to gather together to remember Jerry.  The Lookout Mountain community has graciously agreed.  So we invite everyone to join us at his beloved Lookout Mountain Sacred Harp Singing Convention this August to celebrate the life of this man that we love so very dearly.
