Marino Alvarez, BSI 2015 - BSI Hilton Soames (3STU)
Congratulations to the Nashville Scholars on their 40th Anniversary. A milestone that stemmed from our Charter Members of 1979 and grown as a body in both
knowledge and spirit. We celebrate our accomplishments, but remember those members who have passed and were a significant part of our growth as a scion.

1987 - Horace Harker (SIXN) Nashville (A message on our 40th Anniversary)As one of the senior partners in the history of the Nashville Scholars, I happily can reflect on more than 30 years of its amazing Sherlockian journey. As 40 years of efforts focused of “Keeping Green the Memory” envelopes us, I am so very proud of the scholastic and gregarious history of this scion. I am equally proud to have been able to play a walk-on role since 1987. |

Mary Jane Price (1934-2011) Dave's wife and soulmate was always at his side in the many roles he filled, from circus advance man to school principal to Nashville Scholar. During their circus years, Mary Jane was a press agent. In Dave's words, "the best thing that ever happened to me."

I may have been 39 years late to the 40th anniversary party, not having visited Nashville until 2018, but a more wonderful group of Sherlockian folk and scholars I've never come across. Everyone made my daughter Macy and I feel so at home that when I retire in two years, if fate has it, I will be attending the 42nd anniversary and all the future meetings as a resident member. Happy 40th Anniversary Nashville Scholars!
