Ashburn Estate Sale

Welcome to the House of Many Colors!!

This estate sale is brought to you by a gentleman who spoke English, Spanish, Italian, and Latin, and sang in many more languages including German, French, Hebrew & Russian.  This gentleman taught thousands of students in choir, drama, art, architecture, and music theory.  He was an accomplished singer, keyboard player, and composer.  He was regulary found singing with the Washington Opera Chorus, and at St John's Episcopal Church in Washington DC.

Despite all of these accomplishments, he was a modest man.  He was funny.  And he could cook!!!
