Melchoir (Gerald) Freund     Miscellaneous Notes   Gerald instead took piano lessons from Father James Kelly OSB, building on a musical talent that had been recognized earlier by the Josephite Sisters at Ascension School. Music was his prime avocation, and he became proficient enough to play two piano pieces for a Saint John's Prep Glee Club concert in his first year of instruction and a concerto with the University Orchestra in his senior year at the prep school. Music superseded for a time his interest in aviation and engineering, and he persevered in music instruction with Father James during college pre-divinity studies. He did, nonetheless, eventually obtain a flying license.
