Sadly, we’ve lost another longtime member of our Scottish music family. Marilyn Goodrich left us after fighting the good fight against several health challenges. She was in her late eighties. A stalwart member of the “Plunkies,” she was involved in SMC for so many years that she was already a member when the rest of us joined. Marilyn will be sorely missed.

Please welcome new member Barb Shaltis, pictured here playing alongside her husband Larry at a community event in Michigan. We’re fortunate that they decided to make New Hampshire their retirement home. Barb joined us in December, adding her clarinet to our wind section.

Longtime member George Randall passed away on October 31, 2022. He will be remembered for his love of puns, limericks and odd jokes, books, classical and Scottish folk music, and lack of concern for what other people thought of his unique habits.
