Neil Fichthorn is well known to Sandy Cove "old-timers" because of his 25 year association with this ministry. He began as summer music director in 1969 while still teaching public school music. Three years later, be became full-time Director of Public Relations and Music which involved setting up large concerts in the Philadelphia, Lancaster and Baltimore areas, training large volunteer choirs and instrumentalists. During Neil’s years as music director, each summer about 40 staff musicians presented a new concert (by memory!) each Saturday evening in Palmer Auditorium, many times to capacity audiences!

When Dr. Palmer and Jack Palmer stepped aside from the daily radio broadcast, Neil was the host for several years and became the well known "voice" of Sandy Cove. Then after several years away as director of Gull Lake Bible and Missionary Conference in MI, Neil returned as President of Sandy Cove Ministries in 1990, eventually retiring in 2000. His wife, Mary Esther, was always involved in a variety of roles (from pianist to Dining Room Hostess), and the three Fichthorn children, Phillip, Barbara and Pam were on the staff from early ages until college graduation. We welcome Neil back as a well loved & appreciated face of memorable "Classic" Sandy Cove years!

Special Invitation from Neil!
