 Andy Dugan Office Manager Andy Dugan has been Sheila Dugan’s Office Manager since April 1, 2010. He applied for the position in February, 2010, and after a few short weeks of training, was doing a first-rate job of trying to keep Sheila on time and making sure her students waited for their lessons in the right room. Currently, he also makes sure he gets the students and/or their parents to play with him in that very same room. Andy is the first employee who hasn’t hated the singing. He grew up listening to tons of rock and roll, and country music. He wants you to know that he is pictured here in his brand new Griffendor coat and that he wants a raise. He also wants you to know that when this photo was taken, he had just come in from being outside on his very first snow day, ever. He loved the way it tasted! He’s just sayin’....... |

 Lily Dugan, Emeritus, retired and on the Rainbow Bridge... Executive Personal Assistant Lily Dugan had been Sheila Dugan's Executive Personal Assistant since 1997. Her position began two years after she completely stopped chewing up the kitchen floor in Ms. Dugan's home in West St. Louis County. She was in charge of keeping Sheila Dugan on schedule, and commenting on the students who weren’t singing very well or in tune, by running screaming from the room shortly after they began singing. | |
 Ruby Dugan, Emeritus, retired and on the Rainbow Bridge with Lily Dugan. Human Resource Manager Ruby Dugan, had been employed as Ms. Dugan's Human Resource Manager since the year 2000. It was clear early on in her professional relationship with Ms. Dugan, that Ruby Dugan had the natural talent to manipulate people into doing exactly what she wanted them to do (in the most charming ways, of course!). This included getting to sit on a lot of laps, and slowly, but surely, getting her tummy rubbed. |

 Ivy Dugan, Emeritus, retired and on the Rainbow Bridge Private Investigator and Commentator on Stuff Going On at the Voice Studio From 1984-1996, Ivy Dugan, a Cairn Terrier, served as Sheila Dugan’s Private Investigator. In that position she represented her breed very well. In Scotland, where the breed originated, Cairn Terriers were used to search for rats and rodents. Since there were and are NO rats or rodents at the Sheila Dugan Voice and Speech Studio, it was nothing for her to investigate how her completely cleaned off bones managed to slip between the seat pillows of the couch in the Studio. While Sheila was teaching. Multiple times a day. True to her breed, you would often find her upside down with her head stuck between those pillows and her behind in the air, digging for said bones. Sometimes lessons would stop while uncontrollable fits of laughter reduced students to singers incapable of catching a breath. This is very bad for a singer. No breath--no sing. Ivy, as the self-appointed Official Commentator, commented on EVERYTHING having to do with the Stuff Going on at the Voice Studio. This is a photo of Lily Dugan, the brand new hire, cringing behind her new bed. Ivy is showing her complete disapproval of the new employee, by pointing her behind at the dog bed...which is the way she always made sure we knew we had her complete disapproval of the Stuff Going on at the Voice Studio. |

 Cassie Dugan, Emeritus, retired and on the Rainbow Bridge Co-Teacher Cassie Dugan was the ONLY co-teacher, ever, at the Sheila Dugan Voice and Speech Studio. She was co-teacher from 1971-1984, when she went to her new music school on the Rainbow Bridge, as it’s Director. Cassie will be remembered for teaching every lesson with Sheila, while she was learning to be a very, very good voice teacher. Every new teacher needs some help at the beginning, you know. |
