Rest In Peace Horace "Jeff" Sundby

My Grandpa Jeff died on Monday. He was 92 years old.

He lived a full life, served his country as a Marine, had friends who'd do anything for him, and was a great grandpa. His mind was strong all the way to the end and he lived comfortably at an assisted living facility in Edina. He will be buried with Grandma Esther ("Tiny Gram") at Fort Snelling National Cemetery in Minneapolis.

July 7, 1915 - October 29, 2007.

The Accordion

Okay, I've been taking accordion lessons. I decided to give the accordion a try for a few reasons. First, as you can see from the photo, my grandfather played the accordion so it's in my blood. Second, I LIKE polkas. Third, I want there to be some music in the house for Bodie and if he ever starts playing an instrument, I want to be able to help with the music theory. Fourth, I like the challenge of something new and difficult.



The Minneapolis Public School system gave me a very good music education. I am amazed at how much music theory I remember! I played the recorder, clarinet, saxophone, and finally the trumpet, but not the piano. So, I have much to learn and I'm enjoying it. My teacher is Janet Hane in Thousand Oaks.
