Game 6 of the NBA Finals Had a Heartwarming Start—Watch Marlana VanHoose Sing the National Anthem!

Posted on June 23, 2015 by webmasterchuck

While listening/watching one of the ESPN Sports podcast that I regularly stream, one of the hosts commented about the awesome performance of the National Anthem at a recent NBA final playoff game.  The performer was a 19 year-old young woman named Marlana VanHoose.  Here is a comment from eOnline.com:

“Marlana VanHoose, a 19-year-old Kentucky native who is blind and has cerebral palsy, showcased her powerhouse vocals when she belted the National Anthem on the court, and she absolutely killed it.”

After experiencing getting one of those notices from an online merchant that I use regularly that their customer data had been “compromised” (in other words, “Hacked”) I thought I would share some information I found during this exercise in taking all the recommended steps suggested.

Response From Classmate David Peterson

Posted on June 21, 2015 by webmasterchuck

Thanks, Chuck.  Good to hear from you.

When I was at UW, I got out of the saxophone playing business, selling my sax to a fellow who could really play it.  A few years ago I googled him on a whim, found him up in the northeast (New Hampshire, I think), and contacted him.  Turns out he has been a professional musician since graduating from UW, and still uses my (our) sax regularly.  Pretty neat.

Best,  D.
