Published in the Oklahoma Today magazine, Winter 1996 issue:
Saundra G Avery, 34, Midwest City; SSA development clerk. Sandy wasn't even a grade schooler before she began asking for piano lessons. Her mother, having seen how other youngsters had to be harangued to practice, discouraged the idea. But Sandy kept pleading, and at the age of 6, she got lessons. She quickly disproved her mother's fears.
We had a piano, said her mother, Dorothy Avery, and Sandy just wanted to play it. She eventually mastered the piano and 10 other instruments as well, including mandolin and cello. She graduated from USO (then CSU) with an accounting degree, but she continued to sing in the choir, play flute in the church orchestra, and direct the hand bell choir at OKC's Life Christian Church.
Besides her music (she was a gifted site reader), Sandy took sign language classes 3 nights a week. She enjoyed cross-stitching, puzzles, sewing, and Agatha Christie mysteries. She collected miniature pianos and for several summers had been a counselor at the Church's children's camp
