More about Joel:"Thanks for asking! I am a "retired" Music Instructor,and had a nursing career from Emory. I have fibromeylegia, and am a stroke survivor. I LOVED serving as organist at Peachtree Corner's Presbyterian church,(formally Doraville Presbyterian) playing duets with Lib Adams was the highlight of my week What a BLESSING LIB STILL IS although we don't play every Sunday anymore. I am eternal grateful to Harriet Leslie, Organist, who had me playing in church at the age of 13. I studied Pipe Organ at Emory and attended Dekalb College and Emory to obtain my nursing degree. I love life, and played almost every Sunday,taught music and worked on my Nursing career until my plysical limitations forced me to "retire". I was raised in Decatur, Ga. Doraville, Ga. where I attended Cary Reynolds Elem. and the BEST 5TH AND 7TH GRADE TEACHER, CAROLE GUFFEY. Thanks to Mrs. G....Expand for more
