In Memory

Christopher Knowles

I found our classmate Christopher "Kit" Knowles passed away Sept 5, 2023 at his home in Michigan surrounded by his family.. 

If you remember Kit, please read this loving memorial.. https://www.leelanaunews.com/obituaries/christopher-kit-morton-knowles

I always thought of him whenever I heard the music from "Kismet".  Our junior year we were dating over the holidays, and for Christmas he gave me the record album with the original Broadway cast of "Kismet" from 1953 with Alfred Drake as the poet Hajj.   Kit knew I was in Opera Group  & liked musicals, but why he picked this one, I never really knew..  I listened to it a lot.. and I knew well those opening bars of the overture.  
The next year, when Doc Peterman announced our spring musical, he did it by playing a record of that opening overture.. and I think I yelled out "Kismet" before it barely played a few seconds.. It was one of our Opera group's finest shows ever..and I still have the record.. Thank you, Kit..
