Mary Linda,
We were on vacation and learned of Sam's death when we arrived home. We are so sorry to learn this sad, sad news. We enjoyed working with Sam on Festa Itailana. He was so great! He even fed us for our meetings (a first I believe). His winning smile and bubbly personality were just wonderful. What a loss and all too soon. Our thoughts are with you.
