Paul Chernoff was born in 1922. He was a gifted singer who passed away suddenly due to a heart attack in Grand Forks in 1955. He was a member of the USCC Youth Choir (later renamed to "The USCC Friendship Choir") and contributed greatly in those years to the quality of the singing. Paul was especially known for his solo performances. One of his most outstanding numbers and everyone's all time favorite was & still is "Those Evening Bells" (Vecherniy Zvon) SRC-1166.
Paul appeared on many concert tours,on radio, he sang at banquets and was invited to sing at various churches. When I was 15 years old, on Sunday, Jan.18,1953 at Fairview Baptist Church in Vancouver a "Trio" of us girls that I belonged to, had the priviledge of appearing together with Paul on the same program where the church was seeking to gain a better understanding of the Doukhobors and their culture. Representing the USCC Doukhobors, we shared a few hymns as did Paul. Our tour guide &spokesperson at that time was John P. Stoochnoff of Grand Forks, B.C.
