....... CCDS INFORMER
	Mrs. Moody’s memorial service was a comforting time for us to gather together and remember all that she contributed to the Coronado and Christ Church Day School communities. There were other things I learned about Pat Moody over the years she was at CCDS. For instance, she once sailed a twenty-five foot sailboat with her husband from San Francisco to Hawaii. (And got stuck in the doldrums for a week!) She was a gracious hostess and a very generous person. She left the legacy of joyful music with so many of us. I will always remember her leading the students in the beautiful choral renditions of “Silent Night” with the harmony and two verses layering one on top of the other. We will each remember Mrs. Moody in our own way. May the happy thoughts and music linger in our hearts. There are many questions to deal with after such a tragedy, and we have to get on with the business of music at CCDS, as Mrs. Moody would have wanted us to do. So here are the answers to a few anticipated questions. After contacting local schools and colleges and universities, several highly qualified people applied for the music teaching position. I have hired Mr. Darren Thorn to fill out the year with our students and, yes, there will be a Spring Sing.
