During my tenure as AMICA Membership Secretary I received a call from
the relatives of Lawrence Cook.  The call was to find out about AMICA.
I told them that Cook's name is well known in AMICA circles and that
his piano rolls demonstrated his talents at the keyboard.

As the conversation progressed asked the relatives what they knew about
him.  The answer was immediate: whenever they visited him he would play
all the classics for them, as well as the popular tunes.  They looked
forward to family events where they could ask him to play their
favorites.

I told them I would like to send a copy of the AMICA Bulletin and an
application and hoped they would become members.  I waited a while and
when no application was received I sent them another sample copy of the
latest Bulletin.  Hopefully they will someday re-emerge and share their
memories of him.
