Loucks teaches fourth grade at Slate Creek Elementary in Newton and an Elementary Science Methods class at Bethel College. She accompanies Newton Community Theater musicals each summer, choirs at Faith Mennonite Church and several soloists.
An accomplished composer, her arrangements for flute and piano have been published by ALRY Publishing.
Graham has been producing slide programs combined with music for almost 25 years. Throughout his career as an engineer at Excel Industries in Hesston, he maintained an active side life as a nature and landscape photographer. His collaborations with live musicians include two performances with the Wichita Symphony.
