Doctoral Study: During one of the Muskrats' previous stateside assignment Bruce completed work on his dissertation treating the development of church among Argentina's Baptists during the first century (1881-1981) of Baptist work in that country. He received the DMA (Doctor of Musical Arts) degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary on May 19, 2001. The dissertation is available in a single 1.2 Mbyte ".pdf" (Adobe Acrobat Reader) file upon request. The document is bookmarked for easy access to any specific section and/or chapter.

College Study: Although twins Amy and Andy would certainly not classify "study" as one of their interests, they both recently graduated from Baylor University . Amy graduated in August 2004 with a degree in social work and Andy graduated in May 2005 with a degree in church music (piano).

Composition: Nancy's interests tend to revolve around the piano, especially as she writes and arranges for not only that instrument, but also for other instrumental and choral media. She has two published collections of piano hymn arrangements. Both cassette and CD recordings of her arrangements are now available.
