Sorry to hear of Sam's passing. I was with RCA with Sam, and we worked together in South Africa, Ascension Island and Trinidad. I considered him a good friend. I do have a couple of pictures of Sam in my collection. If there are any family members that would like a copy, please get with me at [email protected].
