I was sorry to hear about the death of Dr. Fairchild. My deepest condolences go out to David and Janet and all of their family. Dr. Fairchild entered my life was I was at Anne Hutchinson Elementary School. I learned music with him, grew to love singing, and later playing the flute. I eventually took private singing and flute lessons with him after school. He was an encouraging, patient teacher. Later in high school, there was chorus, madrigals, Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, and musical theater productions. I participated in local community theatre in minor parts with him in the lead. One memorable role was Freddy in My Fair Lady. Who can forget his rendition of “I Have Often Walked Down This Street Before”?! He and his wife Carmella performed both solos and duets for my dad’s outdoor concert series under the stars with the Westchester Band in Eastchester and Scarsdale. What beautiful memories he leaves and what a legacy leading many of us to careers or at the very least hobbies in music. This past January, my dad, Dr. Joe Albright, also passed away. I just know your dad and mine are up in heaven creating beautiful music and inspiring others to do the same.
