I AM HEAVY HEARTED TO HEAR ABOUT THE PASSING OF MAURICE AND WISH THAT MS RUTHY AND FAMILY ARE WEATHERING THIS STORM . WE WERE SEPARTED BY MILES BUT STILL REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I HAD THE PLEASURE OF ONE OF OUR LONG WINDED TALKS. WE TALKED ABOUT OUR MASONIC BROTHERHOOD OR MUSIC RECORDINGS AND WHILE ENJOYING MS RUTHY'S HOT WINGS. YOU ALL BRIGHTENED UP THE LIGHTS OF LAS VEGAS WHEN YOU WERE HERE. REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND.
