Thank you, Bill Hoffman, Class of 1964

In Spring 2026, Bill surprised us with a wonderful tribute to the museum. He wrote and recorded two versions, a Pop and a Country Western style, of a song about the GHS Museum: “Hymn to Connie and Lynn and the Grossmont Museum.” You can read the lyrics of the song while you listen to the two versions below.

Prepare yourselves for a good time!
