Is this Shiloh CC on Lombard St. where Rev. Baynard pastored for years? She looks familiar!

@v8diva: I believe that is where the church is located.

I'm so appreciative for this. As a child of Shiloh C.C. Church in the 60's, I'm stunned to see faces who have been gone so many years. Thelma was the embodiment of the ideal chorister, articulate, poised and well versed in every genre of sacred music. She could sing and read any music, from Brahms' Requiem to the classic gospels, which she would lead with fire and conviction. This must be a recording of the choir appearing on television. Mr. Joseph Lane is directing the Voices of Shiloh.

What a surprise to see my self after over 45 years conducting the Voices of Shiloh. This was during the time of poise and excellence in presenting the very best to God through music. Although most of the members are gone, I thank God for the experience of working with talented and dedicated choir members such as these.Dr. Kenneth M. Dean, Jr.
