I interpreted David Gruer when he was the Executive Officer for Canadian Staff Band on their Tour of Norway 1987 - he delivered brief devotions in the concerts and when we spent time together as we travelled along the west-coast of Norway - starting with a big Brass-event in the Grieg-hall in Bergen he told me about his ministry which had taken him and his family to South America. He also told me that his ancestors came from Norway (as the surname suggests).
Gruer in an older version
That TSA is a small world was made evident 15 years later when I travelled with the Oslo Temple Band on a tour to Spain. We started in Madrid for a concert at the corps in Madrid - and when it was time for my devotion I was interpreted by the CO who happened to be the daughter of Colonel Gruer.
