The entire Penn, and in particular performing arts community mourns the passing of Bruce "Monty" Montgomery on June 21, 2008. A beloved member of the Penn community for over 50 years, Monty directed the Penn Glee Club for 44 years, Penn Singers for more than 30 years and served in artistic roles with Mask and Wig, Penn Players and the Penn Band throughout his time at Penn. His contribution to the artistic landscape of Penn is immeasurable and we are better for his having been with us. A public celebration of Bruce's life is being planned for the fall in Philadelphia. For more on Bruce you can visit montyart.com or his wikipedia listing. The family has asked that in lieu of flowers contributions be made to the Glee Club Endowed Fund. For More information contact the Platt House Director at 215.898.2312.
