“
Having served in orchestras as principal trumpet for a total of 29 years during my career, I am very happy, along with my wife Carole, to endow the principal trumpet chair in the LCSO. The talent of Luther students continues to amaze us, as all the ensembles rise to greater heights each year, it seems. Through my 27 years of teaching here, it was the one-on-one experience with the students which I most fondly remember and, hopefully, this scholarship will ” keep attracting these extraordinary young people.” —Carole and Ron Fox, Luther professor emeritus of music
