CHIPS Singing Valentines 2000

The CHIPS Quartet delivered about 25 Singing Valentines in the Chippewa Valley on Monday, February 14, 2000. This was their sixth year in a row (seventh for Tom and Jerry). And now, thanks to the wonder of the modern digital camera (and their loyal chauffer Keith Tompkins), they were able to capture the special moments in pixels for your viewing pleasure.

Faith got her Valentine at the Eau Claire County Courthouse	Tom Kell, president of Kell Container, didn't seem to mind a brief musical interruption in his meeting!	Kevin Mason looks like a student, but he's actually the TEACHER at a Chi-Hi chemistry class
Libby Krause enjoyed her fifth Singing Valentine (way to go, Stu!)	How could they pass up singing "Hello, Mary Lou" to the owner of Bake and Brew and Foreign Five, Mary Lou Pulver?!
