Choir members
form alumni group

Did you sing with the Honolulu Boy Choir at any time since it was founded nearly a quarter-century ago? A group of former choir members are trying to form an alumni association of choir graduates.

Organized by Honolulu resident Mark Zeug, the association will keep former choir boys in contact and up to date. Zeug has organized a reunion brunch for all past and present choir boys at 10 a.m. Sunday at the Pacific Beach Hotel. The event will honor Nyle and Roy Hallman, who formed the choir in 1974.
