We are celebrating

Raymond Simpson (1913-1998)

whose 100th Birthday would have been today on April 23. Raymond was a long-time Secretary for the NSTT who contributed twenty-four years of service to its management.
His legacy still lives on through the Raymond Simpson Award that is awarded annually, if merited, to a NSTT scholarship recipient who shows exceptional commitment and potential in music as an instrumentalist. The award is $1000 and was founded by his family.

Archives Canada gives a wonderful account of Raymond Simpson's life as a musician, educator and author
