The Nashville Scholars was founded by John Shanks on February 19, 1979. At least five of the present members were charter members of the original club. Below is the very first newsletter published for the 3PP membership. Kay Blocker was one of those who helped put it together, and she is still doing that for the club today. Thanks, Kay!
