Army Love

By Dan Gorenstein on Friday, June 16, 2006.

Army Specialist Daniel Gionet was buried Friday in Pelham.

He was killed when a roadside bomb exploded near his vehicle earlier this month.

This is not the story about Gionet the fallen soldier.

Instead it is the story about how the 23 year old and his 19 year old wife--now widow --fell in love about 18 months ago.

His wife Katrina says they met through a mutual friend on a trip to a mall in upstate New York.

The two flirted all day and wound up back at a friend's room at the Ft. Drum barracks watching a movie.

Girls Gone Classical

By Laura Knoy on Friday, June 16, 2006.

When listing the greats in classical music, one doesn’t tend to consider women, but they’re out there and very different than their male counterparts... Clara Schumann, Fanny Mendelssohn and New Hampshire’s own Amy Beach to name a few. We’ll look at the history and highlights of women in classical music with one of New England’s greatest interpreters of them Virginia Eskin. Laura's guest is Virginia Eskin, Boston based pianist and host of "First Ladies of Music" and 13-week radio series produced by WFMT in Chicago and Northeastern University.

This Summer will lead a series of Three Performances and Talks as part of the Monadnock Music Festival. Click here for more information on these concerts.
