Biographical / Historical

Tim Bletscher and Roger House were two graduates of George Fox College from the class of 1975. Neither of the two were music majors, Bletscher studied Business-Economics, and House studied Pre-medicine. Bletscher was also the 1974-75 student body president at George Fox, and was a member of the GFC choir during his time at the college. House was an organist for the Eugene junior symphony, as well as a singing ensemble in Salem, Oregon. The Duo began their career by performing for a chapel session at the college, which led to many performance requests both within the George Fox campus and from outside organizations. Their "fame" and popularity led to the campus development office sponsering the duo. The two began tours around the country, and even performed in Canada. They also released multiple albums nationally.
