Christmas Past... A Most Special Christmas Gift....

Today I received a gift from my father from Christmas past that brought joy to my heart and tears to my eyes.... I was so deeply moved I wanted to share it with you.  I was searching through You Tube today and came across Fred Waring and The Pennsylvanians.  

This was a band from the big band era and the man who invented The Waring Blender.  My father, Stuart Churchill, was one of Fred's tenor soloists.

I happened to click on the following video and much to my surprise in this simple little video the unmistakable voice came right out of the past...a voice that I miss so much.  He is the first soloist that you hear.  

 

 

 

It is funny how we each have such distinctive voices and the voice of our parents is such a part of our memory.  In fact, once while he was still living, I happened to be watching "This is the Army" and was convinced that one of the songs was sang by my Dad....but hard as I may ...I couldn't see the resemblance although the singer was definitely in his 20's.  When I asked him about this, he confirmed it was his voice, they had just dubbed it in.  He said, he didn't have that Hollywood look....

Then, as I continued to search,  I came across the picture on the  video it was so familiar but the resolution kind of bad...then I remembered seeing it hang in my Dad's music studio....and suddenly it all came back...and my Dad kind of jumped off the page.  He is the the young man on the left of Fred between two lovely ladies...I can't tell you how fitting this is....my Dad was always such a ladies man!  

Thank you Dad, it was the best Christmas present ever!  I love you so.....

Christmas At Our Office!

Christmas is in the air at my office!  Tonight is our annual Christmas party and all of our agents are really looking forward to it!  I am really blessed to be a part of Beasley Realty.  Our company is an independent family brokerage and I love working for them!  

The history of our company is a long one.  It was originally begun by Ted Beasley in 1971.  Ted as the broker owner of Beasley firmly believed in a family brokerage that cared not only about his Realtors but their families.  Each Christmas he has always had a family orientated celebration for his extended family here at Beasley.

That tradition has been carried on with Mike Werner, our current owner.  He is the son of Melinda Beasley  He purchased the brokerage right before my arrival here in 2007.  

Our office is full of excitement as we look forward to gathering together again this year.  It is a great time and we all really look forward to sharing a wonderful time together.  I look forward to spending the evening with family and friends that all share a bond...we just happen to be great Realtors too!
