Celebrating 80 Years

Sheldon debuted a career in church music singing his first solo in church at age two. He developed his love of church music singing solos and leading worship at a local church through junior high and high school.

While attending Minot State College he also taught music at Northwest Bible College and went on to lead several choirs and developed promotional groups to travel around the country promoting the college.

Jean learned to play the accordion at age 10 while sitting on the piano bench next to her aunt and watching her fingers as she played for church. As a sophomore in high school she began playing piano in church. At Northwest Bible College she began playing piano for church and took trips with student groups playing the accordion.

While attending Northwest Bible College Jean and Sheldon fell in love and married. After marriage they began a lifelong career of playing for college choirs, church choirs and singing duets.
