Never will forget the years with Betty and the gang at Kline Music on 47th. Jam sessions at her home with Gary Stein, Joe Benson, Stan and the rest. Glad I stopped by the store and spoke with her a few years back. What a fun time.

R.I.P. Betty Kline!
You were so instrumental in my life. If not for your generosity, I would never have been able to buy my Pro Trumpet. Thank you for being such a kind business woman! May the choirs of angels sing sweetly for you always.
