Debbie Ramsey Managing Editor Founded in Fallbrook in 1954, the Music Men Chorus of the Palomar Pacific Chapter of Barbershop Singers, a member of the International Barbershop Harmony Society, has begun its 62nd year of bringing the best in men’s four-part a capella singing to North County. On Jan. 12, the group celebrated its anniversary
with a gala installation dinner at their regular, weekly meeting place at the San Marcos Senior Center. Members said the center ’s dining room was transformed into a “charming Italian restaurant” for the occasion, and entertainment was provided by various quartets during the catered dinner. When founded in Fallbrook, the group was originally known as the Avocado Empire Chapter, but changed its name to Palomar
Pacific when their weekly rehearsal/meetings were moved to the more-densely populated area to the south. One integral member of that original, founders group is still active in the organization. He is past president Jack Story of Fallbrook. During his tenure with the group, Story has served as music director and held most of the board positions. After all these years, members said Story is still
full of enthusiasm as he passed the gavel to newly-elected president Al Leuthe of Escondido. At the installation dinner, Leuthe outlined an exciting plan for the coming year and then turned the microphone over to installing officer Kerry Witkin, of Encinitas, who swore in the other five directors.
