Alan – So sorry for ur loss. My mother and urs were kindred organists. Also, can’t tell U how many times I’ve shared story of our 1970 train trip to the Sugar Bowl. U, Jamie (and Bro Bailey) and I had our eyes opened on that trip. Great memories.
Sorry for your loss. I remember your mom as a true southern lady.
