Trombonist Bruce Melville has moved to Grand Prarie, Texas. He didn't want to. He had to.
No, it wasn't part of a plea bargain---Bruce's lovely wife Sharlu got the job of a lifetime offer to be Principal at
Milam Elementary School, and Bruce felt compelled to tag along. As Bruce's son put it, "Dad, the first week without Mom would be a blast, but then whadda ya' gonna do?"
Fortunately, Bruce's formidable teaching skills landed him the job of band director of
South Grand Prarie High School, where he will lead a cozy little ensemble...of 250! Jazz band and other ensembles included in the package at no extra charge.
The ex-Melville casa sits unsold, so if you're looking for a Katy-based abode, you might stop by for a look-see.
The imminently quotable Melville says you can reach him at his new work e-mail address,
bruce.melville@gpisd.org , but don't send any naughty bits.
In summation, Bruce offers this stern warning: "We'll come back to Houston for the right price!"
