Subject: Re: Message from Big Daddy Author: Kathy Valentine [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 03:59:04 02/27/03 Thu In reply to: Charles Kuentz 's message, "Message from Big Daddy" on 03:38:03 02/22/03 Sat Mr. K, I whole heartedly agree with my brothers. You were a profound influence on my life. Thank you for sticking to principles and handing out discipline where it was needed, while still always showing that you cared about each of us as a person. I have had three of my four children in band and choir and they love all kinds of music. I am a registered nurse and manage the pediatric program for CHRISTUS Santa Rosa HomeCare. I try to show my staff and patients that same care and direction that I learned so many years ago. God Bless you. Love, Kathy [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Message from Big Daddy Author: Donald Michael Coy [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 05:00:07 03/14/03 Fri Dear Mr. Kuentz, I recently found out about this site and was pleased to read your note. I certainly recall the early days of your career from a little different perspective. I met you when I was in the 4th grade and singing in Mrs. Kuentz's choir back at Oak Hills Terrace Elementary. You came to watch us perform and you asked which of us planned to join your band one day. A few years later when I was learning to play the saxophone at Pat Neff Middle School, you asked me if I was planning on joining your band one day. Finally in 1980, you helped me answer that question when I tried out for the band, and you let me join the ranks. You truly had a great impact on the way I appreciate music today. I live in Illinois these days. My wife and I have friends whose kids are in the marching bands around here. Occasionally they invite us to watch their kids perform, and I can't help but grin as I reminisce. There is a lyric that says, "Careful what you say, children will listen...." Please know that all of us listened, and we are very grateful for what you said. You made each of us feel special. Such a gift you have. Take care. Donald [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
