Final Hall of Fame Program Rescheduled to Dec. 9

Ray Fahringer

The final presentation in the Inland Northwest Hall of Fame series at the Coeur d’Alene Public Library has been moved from Thursday, Nov. 17, to Friday, Dec. 9, at 7 p.m.The presentation by regional historian Robert Singletary will be about Ray Fahringer, an outstanding band and orchestra director in the Coeur d’Alene public schools from 1915 to 1953.
Fahringer established a tradition of excellence which continues to this day, Singletary said. 
“During his 38 year tenure Fahringer, a violinist and graduate of the Valpariso Music Conservatory, became known throughout Idaho and the Inland Northwest for his integrity, strict discipline, and the quality of his music programs,” he said.  “Several of his students are still involved in area music organizations. Some of them have been invited to be a part of the program that will honor Ray Fahringer as a member of the Inland Northwest Hall of Fame.”
The series, which profiles the men and women who have shaped the history of our region, is presented in partnership with the Museum of North Idaho, where Singletary is the programming and marketing director. Additional support has been provided by the Friends of the Library.
