Today is AXO's 120th anniversary. I attended the Denver alumni group's celebration at the Arbor House in Golden, CO. Since the fraternity was founded on music, they had the assistant conductor of the Colorado Symphony as the guest speaker. For those not familiar with how a conductor manages to get everyone to follow him, he demonstrated by having us sing Happy Birthday. He conducts the youth symphony; many of the comments he made reminded me of my summers at Brevard and years in different music groups. Also as far as meeting new people, I finally met someone my age, not married sans kids, that actually lives within a couple of miles. She even spells her name the way I prefer - Shelley.
