He joined the faculty in the early 1940s, moved with the college to Santa Barbara, and helped build the school’s identity through choir tours on the West Coast. He often said that despite his experiences as a musician and teacher in many contexts (public school teacher, church choir director, college professor, and Christian broadcaster in the Philippines), nothing brought him greater joy and satisfaction than the years he spent with the Westmont Choir. The 1954 Citadel (the Westmont yearbook) was dedicated to John and included a story on “Our Singing Campus” that highlighted his ministry. He loved to read about former students who have made significant musical contributions in churches and schools.</excerpt><author/><image>
