Pat & I recently attended a Memorial for Dave Brubeck at St. John the Divine in Manhattan. Many Jazz greats performed Dave’s works, including a stirring eulogy by Tony Bennett. (It also happened to be our 40th anniversary). We’d gotten to know Dave through ownership of a bar in Lake Almanor that originated in his grandfather’s hotel in the long since disappeared town of Amedee, Ca. Aside from Pat gaining a recent pacemaker, we are in good health and hope fellow classmates can come visit us in “the poor man’s Tahoe.”
