Dear Ms. Hewitt,
My son Robin is nine years old and he participated in the Capital Region's Kiwanis Music Festival for the very first time this year, and he won the James P. Kenney Trophy for best musicianship in Junior Piano (ages 7 to 12). We didn't realize how special the trophy was until we found your name on it as a past winner (years 1968 and 1972) . You must have forgotten all about this as it has been such a long time, but, WOW, what a boost of motivation it is for Robin to know that this very same trophy which had sat on your piano inspiring you in the past is now sitting on his inspiring him!
We're looking forward to seeing you back here in Ottawa in July. Hopefully we could meet you at the backstage after your recital 😉
Cheers,
Li (from Ottawa, Canada).
