Significant Others: God; Tom Weatherly, husband; Lauren McDow, daughter; Randy McDow, son-in-law; Eston McDow, grandson

How you relax and have fun: I’m a Type A, extroverted, recovering workaholic, so relaxing is working and having many hobbies: nurturing my grandson, studying leadership and effective communication, following GT sports and daughter’s tennis, solving the puzzle of matching worship scriptures with anthems, attending and directing inspiring musical performances, setting a beautiful table, reading a good book, and spending time with my family and friends. I would rather play Word Challenge online than do laundry.

Favorite music: Classical sacred is my favorite, but I like any style that creates a beautiful setting for the text of the Prayer of St. Francis. I’ve also been known to shake a leg on the dance floor to pop music.

Favorite Food: Gorgonzola salad with dark greens, walnuts, raisins, and fabulous dressing. Biblical Character you most identify with and why: Paul because he provided so much wisdom in 1st Corinthians 13.

Ideal Vacation: Any place that provides some historical points of interest and great food. Water front accommodations, and beautiful sunsets are a plus.

What you like best about Chamblee: The church is a large enough to have enough resources that make leading the music ministry really fun and busy, but it’s small enough to provide a feeling of family.

Education and Work Experience: Masters and Bachelors of Music: Georgia State University 35 years of experience in all phases of church music
