Lester was a member of the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus from November, 1980 until April, 1986 for a total of 18 concert seasons. He also participated in the historic 1981 National Tour of nine cities in the United States. The tour is credited with being the creative force behind the formation of the Gay and Lesbian Association of Choruses which as of 2010 has more than 170 member choruses with over 7,000 singers worldwide. He last sang as a member of the Second Tenor section. The Chorus refers to these members who are no longer able to sing with the group as members of the "Fifth Section." They are listed Chorus programs and on the group's website: https://www.sfgmc.org/about_fifth.shtml
I’m wondering if this is the same Keith Kamrath who was our red-headed friend at Chadron State College in 1969. I’ve often wondered what became of him since our college days. I thought highly of him because of his caring easy going personality. I am saddened to see that he passed 32 years ago! He definitely is remembered after so many years! …..Sincerely, Agnes Chase Cortney
