Today would have been Mark's 50th birthday. Today I wish for peace and repose. I wish peace for Mark, for his family, for his colleagues, for his students, and for all who are well aware of his absence.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Weiger.

Birthday Wishes
This past November the classical music and double reed community was shocked by the sudden death of Mark Weiger. He was a virtuoso oboist, talented pedagogue, professor, and all around a wonderful person. I had the pleasure of taking a few lessons with Mark, and the lessons were worth every minute of the 4 1/2 hour drive to Iowa City. From time to time Mark would drop an email into my box to see how I was doing oboewise and just in general. Mark was an inspiration, and I truly admired him as an artist.
Today would have been Mark's 50th birthday. Today I wish for peace and repose. I wish peace for Mark, for his family, for his colleagues, for his students, and for all who are well aware of his absence.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Weiger.

ReplyDeleteIn an extraordinary demonstration of resolve and fortitude, nearly 500 Mormons leave Iowa city and head West for salt Lake City carrying all their goods and supplies in two wheeled handcarts. Of all the thousands of pioneer journeys to the West in 19th century, few were more arduous than those undertaken by the so called Handcart companies from 1856 to 1860.
