RICH SCHNIPKE TO LEAD MEN’S CHORUS
Posted: Fri Mar 24, 2017 10:27 am
As many of you know, I spent quite a bit of time in the group while at BGSU, serving as President my final year. I will not get into my opinions of the current leadership. However, the future of this group is VERY bright! I am sure this will be a return to the quality that defined this group for much of its history. I have met Rich at alumni events, and he is a true Falcon. Welcome home!
