"today's hope, tommorrow's peace"
radio broadcast.
BORN IN PORTLAND OREGON, CLAUDIA WHOSE PARENTS
ARE SHANNON, FATHER, AND VICTORIA, MOTHER.
AFTER TWO SIBLINGS SHANNON AND TERRY.
HER GRANDFATHER AND GRANDMOTHER RESIDE ALSO IN PORTLAND AT THE TIME AND THE MATERNAL SIDE IS
MINISTRAL MUSICIANS.
DAD OWNED AND WORKED HIS OWN FARM AND IN THE NEARBY TOWN
HE OWNED AND WORKED A CLEANERS LAUNDRAY CALLED THE "WASHTUB"
IT WAS THERE I COULD HEAR THE OLD RADIO AND THE RELIGIOUS PROGRAMS, LOOK AT THE CLOCK ON THE WALL AND KNOW THAT DAD TAUGHT ME THE TIME OF THE DAY.
MOTHER WORKED IN HOUSE DOMESTIC WORK WHILE DESIRING TO BE A LICENSE NURSE, SHE ALSO SANG RECITALS AT THE LOCAL CHURCH.
IN THE CITY 30 MINUTES AWAY WAS THE WEEKEND CHURCH AND THE WHOLE FAMILY AFFAIR WAS THERE.
AUNTS, UNCLES, COUSINS ALL ATTENDED THE SHARON.
I SANG THERE GROWING UP AND TOOK MY STAND FOR THE FIRST TIME FOR JESUS CHRIST THERE.
MUCH LATER THE "SHARON" CHURCH WAS A PLACE OF WOSHIP IN TUCSON ARIOZON, THAT PLACE WAS THE DISPLAY OF MY FRESHLY WRITTEN AND COPYRIGHTED SONGS."SONGS FOR SOULS"
EARLY CHILDHOOD WAS ALL PAROCHIAL EXCEPT FRIEDEL.
THAT WAS THE ELEMENTARY PUBLIC SCHOOL WE WENT TO WHEN
MY FOLKS WERE DIVORCED.
WE WERE LATCH KEY KIDS, FENDING FOR OURSELVES WHILE LEARNING IN SCHOOL WHAT WAS PROFITABLE FOR LIVING IN THIS NEW WORLD WITHOUT DAD AT HOME.
MUSIC WAS THE THREE OF US SHANNON, TERRY AND CLAUDIA.
THIS CARRIED THROUGH OUR HIGHSCHOOL YEARS, AND THE BOND OF FRIENDSHIP WE HAD AS SIBLINGS WAS LOVING.
I BABY SAT AND DID CLEANING MY SEVEN AND EIGHTH GRADE YEARS TO PAY FOR MY CLOTHES AND HELP ON TUITION
MY 9TH AND 10 TH GRADE I WORKED IN THE LAUNDRY TO HELP DEFRAY THE COSTS OF TUITION.
AT 17 I BABYSAT, STAYING OUT OF SCHOOL A YEAR.
THEN I CAME TO CALIFORNIA' LOS ANGLES HIGH SCHOOL AND THE GENERAL CURRICULUM TO WHICH I EVENTUALLY GRADUATED AFTER MANY MOVES AND TRANSITIONS AND EMPLOYMENT.
WE WERE "GOOD KIDS", STAYING OUT OF TROUBLE AND WHAT MORALITY WE LEARNED WAS PASSED TO US THROUGH SCHOOL AND CHURCH.
FOR WE WERE KIDS OF DIVORCE AND THE ETHICS YOU LEARN ARE NOT CLEAR UNLESS SHOWN FROM HOME OR SCHOOL.
I CHOSE MUSIC IN ELEMNTARY SCHOOL I ANNOUNCED TO MY CLASS I WAS GOING TO BE A VOCAL PERFORMER.
EACH YEAR THAT I WAS ENVOLVED IN MUSIC MADE MY PROSPECTS MORE PROMISING AS I SANG SOLOS,EVEN THOUGH MY BROTHERS AND I WERE ACTIVE AS A GROUP. BUT NOT ACTIVE IN THE SENSE YOU CALL A SINGING GROUP TODAY, MOTHER EVEN HAD US MAKE A RECORDING 45RPM RECORDS AT THAT TIME.
I BEGAN TO ACCUMULATE WHAT I WAS DOING MUSICALLY BUT I COULD SEE THAT THE STANDARDIZED PERFORMANCES WERE NOT WHAT I WAS YET CAPABLE OF DOING, BUT THAT DID NOT STOP ME, IF I GOT ENCOURAGEMENT I STAYED WITH THE MUSIC.
GRADES IMPROVED SLIGHTLY BUT ABOUT THE TIME OF 8TH GRADE I BECAME ELECTED AS CLASS CHAPLAIN. THAT SEEMED TO BE IMPORTANT AT THAT TIME TO HAVE A VALUE SYSTEM THAT OTHERS COULD APPRECIATE.
MY SCOPE OF THE WORLD WAS OFTEN WHAT PEOPLE EXPERIENCED OUT SIDE OF ME, AND
THE THINGS DIPICTED IN THE NEWS ALL WERE SO REAL, NOT TO BE DOUBTED.
THE BIBLE IS ALSO NOT TO BE DOUBTED.
IF I FELT INSPIRED TO DO SOMETHING FROM WHAT I READ IN THE BIBLE, I WOULD DO THAT IN FAITH AND GOODWILL.
IF I SAW SOMETHING ON T.V. NEWS WITH REGARD TO THE HUMAN CONDITION, I FELT
AS THOUGH I SHOULD BE COMPASSIONATE TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES RELATED TO IT.
I FOLLOWED THE COLLEGE CURRICULUM WHILE TAKING CARE OF MY CHILDREN AND CONTINUED TO GET ACCALADES ABOUT MY MUSIC AND WAS ELECTED CHOIR PRESIDENT AT THE COLLEGE,
THAT WAS AN HONORARY POSITON,NOT REQUIRING ANY ACTION ON MY PART.
MY GRADES AFTER FRESHMAN COLLEGE WENT UP TO 3.5 AND TO 4.0 ALPHA GAMMA SIGMA.
AND BASICALLY STAY HIGH G.P.A. FOR THREE TRIMESTERS AT THE UNIVERSITY.
WHEN I WAS CALLED TO SING AUDITIONS AT THE METROPOLITAN OPERA, IT WAS BECAUSE THE DEMO TAPE WAS CONSIDERED TO BE AN
EXAMPLE OF GOOD SINGING, THE BASIS ON WHICH RISE STEVENS CALLED ME TO PERFORM A AUDITION RECITAL AT FRANZ LIZST HALL 1983
MY RESUME WILL FOLLOW THESE PAGES,
HAVING WRITTEN A VITAE MANY TIMES, THE STANDARDIZED INFORMATION IS THERE:
EDUCATION
EXPERIENCE
OBJECTIVES
REFERENCES
GOALS IN LIFE.
TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IS NOT TO BE SCORNED FOR HOPING A HIGH CALLING.
TO WANT TO DO SOMETHING TO BENEFIT MANKIND IS NOT TO BE THOUGHT OF AS
ARROGANT OR LOFTY
TO SUCCEED IN TRYING AND ALSO IN BEING ELECTED IS THE MAIN POINT OF THE PURSUIT FOR WE PUT OUR HAND TO THE PLOUGH HOPING ONE DAY TO GLEAN THE FIELDS FOR HARVEST OF ANY DREAM WORTH HAVING.
SINCERELY,
MISSIONARY CLAUDIA HUMPHREY
