Muncie Music Center Employee Retires After 72 Years of Service
Muncie Music Center recently honored Joan White who retired from the store in January after working there for 72 years.

White joined Muncie Music Center in 1943 at the age of 14. It was the only job she ever held throughout her 72-year tenure in the employment field.

While at Muncie Music Center, White was responsible for a multitude of behind-the-scenes duties to help music teachers and individuals in Indiana and Ohio obtain and receive services to make their jobs as educators and music makers easier.

"I've always enjoyed my time at Muncie Music Center, and I never got fired," joked White, who announced her retirement on her 86th birthday.

A farewell Retirement Open House was held on Jan. 18 at Muncie Music Center in Muncie, Indiana. Along with the party, the City of Muncie proclaimed Jan. 18, 2016 Joan White Day in celebration of her career and contribution to the music community.
