Favorite Person: Dr. Cedarholm

While traveling with the Chorale to Iowa for a concert back around 1980, there were too many of us to fit on the bus. Dr. Cedarholm loved to drive and so a few of us were selected to travel with him as well. Have you ever heard of Dr. Cedarholm having a lead foot??? He sure did. While coming up over a hill, I saw the trooper parked on the side of the road. Oh yeah, lights on and we were pulled over. Dr. Cedarholm was very respectful and we were very very quiet. As the bus passed, their were dozens of heads pressed against the right side of the bus looking at us. He also had a knack for using a map across his lap while driving blocking his view of the road. You can imagine how much we were praying at those times. I'm sure he kept his guardian angel very busy. What memories!

Gravatar The Grace Notes drove all night through the Rocky Mountains with Dr. and Mrs. Cedarholm trying to get to a church in British Columbia. Paula, who sat in front, had the job of keeping him awake. There were some swerves as we drove on winding roads through the mountains. We did much praying! We arrived at the little church at 5:00 Sunday morning, got 3 hours of sleep before heading to the church, then ended up having to sing without a piano. That long night didn't seem to affect Dr. Cedarholm's preaching.
