Suzy HubbardSuzy Hubbard
Organist

I was recruited as the organist for Saint James’ Church in 1971 as a college student. I knew nothing about the Episcopal Church, but what a rewarding journey it has been! I was confirmed and married in the church. The journey continued with the baptism and confirmation of my children. My daughter was married at Saint James’ and returned home for the baptism of her children.
