Adam ~ Michelle Gippin ~Angela ~ Jon
Jon's daughter, Angela,is a graduate in vocal music of the Performing Arts Program at Firestone High School, the magnet arts school for the Greater Akron area. As a teen she was also a member of the Summit Choral Society's renowned Touring Ensemble which performs all over the world. She toured in Italy and China with that chorus.
She is now attending Kent State University, with a minor in vocal music. Her beautiful voice and adept harmonies, as well as her skill on flute, combine to add an intriguing dimension when she performs with Jon.
