  • I am so glad you came up with Sound System it was a wonderful time for me and I will always remember as an original member the times we shared.  I'm a little like my Tea pot skit now than then.  Still short a little more stout but Devil darn I'm still a little sugar bowl.  Sounds as you also have had a wonderful life, GOD has been so good to me.  My best to you and your family enjoy those grand kids I have three now 5 yrs, 5 months and 4 months.  May GOD bless:  From your "Little Teapot"  Paul Wofford/Kentucky 
  • Hey Jerry Skora,
    I can't believe the kids I babysat for you and Linda now have children of their own! I am living in Kentucky at the moment, but I have traveled around, teaching at several universities around the country. Got my doctorate in music from UT Austin, and got fellowships to the Aspen Music Festival and Tanglewood.( You would have been proud of me.) But like Mike Strickland said, some of my best musical memories come from your classroom and Sound System. Thanks for fueling my love of music and teaching me so much. You made a difference in my life. Love you! Frieda Holland
  • Great to hear from you. Good to hear life is good. Its good to hear you that are still into music. I am enjoying retirement.(11 years) though I give piano lessons 2 days a week. Linda and I spend a lot of time with our 6 grandkids.
  • Hey, Skora!!! It's good to see you here. Get on Facebook, too!! I've been having a pretty great life... married to a trombone player/composer/arranger since 1995. He was a student of Jerry Coker at UT Knoxville. We have gigs individually and sometimes together.
  • Hi Mr. Skora,

    This is Donna adams. Remember me? I was in Sound System and chorus with you in 1970 and also was in "Big Julie" during your summer musical at Chamberlain. So good to see you on this web site. It's great to find old friends and teachers! I am living in Dallas, Texas and work in real estate.

    Take care and I look forward to hearing from you.

    Donna
  • So glad you are now on the site. I don't get to visit the site too often as we have slow dial up in Papua New Guinea. Still using the things I learned from you in chorus and Sound System - wonderful, wonderful memories and such fun times. All the best - Judy
  • Hi Mr.and Mrs. Skora! Just found my second grade report card written by the lady who was my inspiration to teach. Thank you, for such a nice report. I'm about to begin my 31st year of teaching. Oh, and I do sing a lot in my classroom! Family is growing. Both boys are married, daughter is a senior at FSU, 4 grandchildren, and one more on the way. Love you both! Miss you at the Sea Rocket.
  • Hello Mr. Skora. Pam and I are sitting here on my couch in Tennessee and found you had a page. We think of you often and are so happy you are on. Let us hear from you.
  • I'm not sure you would remember me, but I just wanted to tell you I much I enjoyed my years in Chorus. You were a much loved teacher of mine.Tell Steve I said HI.
