Dear Friends and Colleagues,
It is with great humility that I step into this position
as Dean of the Central Iowa Chapter, AGO! As
Christopher asked recently for a list of past Deans, I
searched through the Dean’s “box.” And, again, as I

humbled by the incredible leadership this chapter has
enjoyed over the years. With the assistance and
support of the Executive Committee, we will strive
to maintain the high standard of service to the hard-working and
dedicated church organists in Central Iowa. Thank you for your
service…and your patience! I am excited to be a part of the planning for
our program year ahead. Blessings!

Retirement Announcement: David Raymond
It is with mixed feelings that I announce my retirement as Cathedral Organist
at The Cathedral Church of St. Paul. Having begun as an assistant organist in
one of Missouri’s largest Methodist churches in September, 1961, I have
enjoyed the challenges and rewards of being a church organist. After 55 years
on the bench I would like to have more time for family, travel, and other things.
I have agreed to stay on as Organist Emeritus and Organ Conservator giving
me continued opportunities to do some playing while assisting with organ and
carillon maintenance. My last official Sunday will be August 14. I look forward
to my new responsibilities as Central Iowa AGO Chapter sub-dean and helping
us move forward together with renewed spirit and energy.
