Michael joins me in sending our condolences to AC and the Riley family. We are saddened to hear of John's passing. It was truly a pleasure to see you both at almost every musical event in town whether it was Opera Saratoga, the Chamber Society, SPAC or at Ellen's Rojan parties. We are thinking of you and wishing we could have known John better.
