As many of you may know, John Ferguson will be retiring as Professor and Cantor to the St. Olaf Student Congregation at the end of this academic year. He will, however, continue on in his capacity as the music adviser for Sing For Joy. St. Olaf College has planned some special celebrations for him during the first weekend in June. On behalf of St. Olaf College and Sing For Joy, we'd like to invite you to "Join us!"
