Along with Sailyn's baptism, I was able to do another thing with Jay's family. I was able to see first hand the playing of the saxophone being carried on by my niece Emilee. Emilee decided to switch to the tenor saxophone this year after playing the clarinet and flute. Jay told her that I used to play and so when we were together at Sailyn's baptism, she told me about her music and asked if I wanted to come to her final concert. I told her that I would love to and to just have her dad let me know when it was. So on a Wednesday in May, I got into my car and traveled down to Provo to witness the passing of the torch. She did really well and it was fun to see and hear the music and it made me realize how much I miss it.

| This was the best shot I was able to get of her sitting with the band. |

| It was a good concert and she did great. I hope that she continues to play and is able to find as much joy and fun from it as I did. |
