Irene Martin is a nurse who does not call herself a musician, but to whom music has been and still is an important part of her life. Four-part harmony, acapella singing was instilled at an early age by a singing family and non-instrumental church. "Otis Bontrager, our kindly, generous song-leader who used a tuning fork, invited us as MYF'ers to lead singing. My father directed the seasonal choir. My musical interest was furthered by Mary Oyer's Fine Arts course at Goshen College. I have enjoyed 30 years as a member of the FMC Choir. As I grow older, this unique worship expression becomes more precious
