I had the privilege to meet Norman back stage after a concert he did at Northrup Auditorium on the campus of the University of Minnesota during the fall of 1963. I told him I was interested in perhaps joining his choir and touring and he seemed very interested. I had just got back from Europe with the Minneapolis Choralaires who I toured with during the preceding summer. I very much wanted to join Norman's choir, but decided instead to finish my college education at the University of Minnesota which took another two years. I have some regrets about not joining and touring, but just meeting and talking with Norman was a very special time for me.
