Wherever the Mormon Tabernacle Choir happens to be, there also is Marene Foulger, a member of the behind-the-scenes volunteer staff who knows practically everything that has to do with the organization.

As choir historian, she totes a laptop to nearly every event, making a written record of all that transpires. She's good at her volunteer job -- and she ought to be: Having practically grown up in the choir family, she has been an eyewitness to its comings and goings all her life.



Her father, Paul Foulger, joined the choir two years before she was born. Her mother, Josephene Foulger, served as volunteer historian from 1976-2002. Her paternal grandmother and maternal grandfather were members of the choir, making her a third-generation affiliate with the famed musical organization.
