One 8^th grader wasn’t going to let social distancing ruin Claire MaGuire’s 93rd  birthday, reports Dawn Timmeney for Fox29.com.

Aiden Peterson, 14, is a Shipley School student and a trumpet major in the Pre-College Division at Julliard School.

On a recent Sunday, Peterson serenaded MaGuire with her favorite songs from the sidewalk as she sat outside her front door.

“He was absolutely marvelous. My gosh, I’m still thinking about him because I am sure one day he’s gonna be quite famous,” MaGuire told FOX 29.

Peterson is a member of the Shipley School Honors Combo and plays with the Delaware County Youth Orchestra and the DeLaSalle String Band Orchestra.

He’s also a Taps bugler for the military and plays cello for patients at the Philadelphia VA Medical Center.

“In this time, a lot of people think sad thoughts. I guess me playing for them or virtually playing for them makes their day a lot better and brightens it up,” he said.

MaGuire’s daughter Beth Pacera heard about Peterson and thought he would make a nice consolation to replace the big birthday bash they couldn’t have because of COVID-19.
