Dear Marvin and Meitus Family Members,
We were deeply saddened to learn of Lois' passing. We recall, with grateful hearts, the positive and spirited contributions Lois (and you, Marvin) made to the New World Symphony during those challenging early days and years. We recall with fondness the many great times we had together creating and growing the NWS, at Carnegie Hall, and on those incredible first tours! You were and remain the ultimate "dynamic duo."
We send our love and deepest sympathy to all of you on your loss.
