In Memoriam: Bruce Mesford
Bruce was a major promoter of nautical and traditional music during his time with 3RFS. He served on the 3RFS board and the Tumbleweed Festival Steering Committee, and he coordinated the Second Saturday Sea Song Singalongs for more than 10 years. After a battle with pancreatic cancer, Bruce died on November 13, at home with his large family around him. We already miss him greatly. The week of his death, Bruce was still working to ensure that the next concert would be a success. His family will have a private service. It is Bruce's wish that any memorial gifts be given to the Cancer Center in Kennewick. His family and friends will celebrate Bruce's life at Roundtable Pizza in Richland after the Constellation's Crew Concert on December 1. This is as close to a wake as can be done. Many out of town people will be there to help us celebrate the music that Bruce loved. Join us in song to remember Bruce Mesford.
