Rocktrumpet staying colorful

Beautiful Rocktrumpet, known for its vibrant, trumpet-shaped flowers, is providing color this early fall in pinks, reds, and whites, with glossy, dark green leaves. The vines can climb trellises, fence and porch posts. They also work in hanging baskets, and best of all, they attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Comments | Permalink

Dr. Gerald Chafin, at right, LWU music professor and Director of Church Relations, was 'key'ed-up' before and after Sunday's Piano Extravaganza! The sounds that filled Slider Hall, especially that of two Steinway pianos being played by four pianists at the same time, kept everyone cheering.
