Scope and Contents

An excerpt from the newspaper clipping reads as follows:

Wylda Thomas is organizing a special concert Saturday in Mt. Airy High Rise. All the performers will be members of her family--and so will the audience. Not that she'd bar any other residents of the high rise for the elderly who might wander into the lounge she has booked for the event from 10 am to 2 pm.
[...] "I said if I'd had a hobby I wouldn't have been so shocked having to quit work. So I started piano lessons at Martin Luther King Center.
[...] Mrs. Thomas runs through a piano duet with grandson Kevin Lagos, 7, and niece Sarah Mansfield, 13. Virginia Lagos, right, has just started to learn the viola with help from Mrs. Thomas who doesn't know how to play it herself but coaches the children after poring through college textbooks for music students.
