Sorry to hear about the passing of Fred Engelfried. Although we have lost contact over the years, I still remember his playing the Trumpet when I was a little girl. A very hardworking and talented man, a good father, and good son, to Betty, my mother's cousin. Our sympathy to the family. Gerrie and Dick Young
