The group depicted was known as the Berkshire Chorale and consisted of local residents who sang as a hobby. The group performed at such places as the North Adams Hospital and local nursing homes. It also performed for local audiences in a few formal concerts each year. This picture was probably taken in the late 1970s.

Anne Cain at the piano,looks like Freddie Judge next to the man with the mustache in second row, might be Dot Randsford first row left, Blaine Belding is the elderly, sweet old gent in the front row on right. I sang with this group, under Bob's direction from it's inception in the early 70's until I moved from the area in 77-78
