	The Middletown Symphony Orchestra has a rich history in our community having been established in 1921 - 88 years ago. Dr. Frank Simon organized the first civic symphony in Middletown in 1921 and formed the orchestra after the establishment of the Armco Band. However, he soon realized that the success of the Armco Band required his full attention and as a result, he disbanded the civic orchestra. The community did not want the orchestra to go away, so after it was reorganized several times over the years, it reached stability when Miss Valda Wilkerson took over the baton as conductor in 1941. In 1942 it became known as the Middletown Symphony Orchestra (MSO). Full Article: Middletown Symphony Orchestra Celebrates 35 Years - MiddletownUSA.com

	Valda was a wonderful person. I had her in school and also played for her in the symphony. Many fond memories!

	Smartman- you remember Valda? I first met Valda at Roosevelt Jr. High School where she taught music. Let's see--- around 1961-62-63. Played trumpet with Jan Keuthan, Chick Lane and others in Concert Band at MHS- 1964/ 1965. William Steele was in charge of marching and concert band back then. We all walked from old MHS (Vail) down to Barnitz Stadium to practice after school in those days. Good times!

	I remember Valda very well. I believe she had an endless supply of jewelry. Great lady.
