SALLY LAWRENCE PASSES AWAY

     One of AMICA's most devoted and revered members passed away on June
28th.  Sally was a  member of the the Founding Chapter in San Francisco and
was an active participant in the group of 12 individuals who got together in
the late 1950's to discuss their mutual interest in reproducing and player
pianos and other musical instruments.  This group eventually formed the
"Reproducing Piano Organization of America".  In 1963 this organization
became AMICA.
      Sally had been ill for several years and was on a motor trip with her
husband Dale, when she succumbed.  Sally's memorial service is scheduled for
Saturday July 8th, in San Francisco.  
     A more complete version of this announcement will appear in the
July-August issue of the AMICA Bulletin.


     I would also like to relay that Carol Dayton of Pedals, Pumpers and
Rolls passed away last month.  I see that she is listed in the roll persons
list as co-owner with her husband Roger Dayton of the business and assume
that this is probably not known by some of the Automatic Music readers.

     Both of these ladies were very supportive of the field and always went
out of their way to make sure that the hobby was enjoyed by all.  They will
be missed by many many people and friends.
