I attended the University of Michigan for my MM and DMA. It was always so good to see Mr. Shirley in the hall. Always a smile and a hello, even though I am sure he had no idea who I was. My colleague at CSU Fullerton is a student of his and speaks of him fondly. jk  DR. JOHN M. KENNEDY, Chair, Department of Music, Theatre and Dance, California State University, Los Angeles
