About Me
- Name: Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, Eta Nu Chapter
- Location: Winona, Minnesota, United States
Eta Nu Chapter was chartered on May 14, 1956. Its founder was Brother Hermes Paul Turner FSC ('46), who started the chapter as a way to bring together the members of the MariNotes (big band), and the SMC Glee Club. Brother Hermes Paul was the director of both groups, and members of these groups participated jointly in such activities as the Redman Revels, an all-campus variety show that predated the current Blue Angel and Gaslight shows. At the time of the chartering of the chapter, Saint Mary's College enrolled only male students and there was no music department. Brother Paul's membership certificate still hangs in the fraternity room, with the date of the founding of the chapter, as a memento of the beginning of Sinfonia at Saint Mary's.

My Brothers and dear friends, we had a great time! The voices I heard we incredible. At times I was scared because we have the makings of a real men's chorus. I think we could give the ND glee club a good run for the money. Thanks for the opportunity to share the stories and most of all to you current actives I thank you for the courtesey extended to me that weekend.

Whitey! Glad you're still around! Now I can complain about the Spruce Goose you sold me. I lost a wheel with the drive shaft still attached while driving on I-90. In winter there was a permanent snow drift in the back seat. The seal on the convertable roof rotted so badly, in a rainstorm I had to drive with a towel on my lap. When the hydrolic system lost its fluid, the car smelled like Boone's Farm. I lost the muffler at least 3 times if there were a pothole in the street.
God, I loved that car!!!!
