Grace Coulson, age 97, played piano for the morning worship service today at the Goldendale, Washington, Grace Brethren Church.
Mrs. Coulson, whose husband was a pastor, may hold the U.S. record for longest continuous service as a church pianist, according to some research done several years ago by Goldendale pastor Greg Howell. She began at about age 10, so has been playing regularly for 87 years, about the last 15 at the Goldendale church.
