Recovery Progress
Meanwhile, Lindsay, back in Tempe, AZ, is making good progress in his recovery from a broken hip suffered last September in Dayton, Ohio. At the time, he was travelling to Hobart & William Smith Colleges in Geneva, NY (where he served as professor of music, choirmaster and chapel organist from 1948 through 1979) to perform an organ lecture-recital in St. John's Chapel. The occasion marked the 50th anniversary of the installation of the Austin organ for which Lindsay had been instrumental in the specification and design. His appearance was thus postponed and he is currently working through rigorous PT towards a return engagement in the spring.

Exactly one month after the accident, he celebreated his 99th birthday, absent the usual country jig. If you would like to send greetings, his ASU email address will get through (even though it returns a notification that he is temporarily indisposed).
