Hello Robbie.  My husband, John Johns, was a long time subscriber
and contributor to your Digest and I am very sorry to inform you that
he passed away peacefully from pulmonary fibrosis on May 12, at the
age of 85 years.  Would you please put this in your publication as he
had several friends who also subscribe.  He always looked forward to
receiving the MMDigest.

When I can get organized, he had some player piano books that need
a new home.  Could I send you a list in the near future?

Thank you,
Janet Johns
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
