Hey -- give Bobby my best regards. Old friend long time no seeum. Last I 
heard hewas still with Alamo City JAzz Band. Still there?
If you see Chuck Reilly, also give him a North Michigan hello -- he's 
from Bellaire deep inthe wood and water of the north.
Getzen booth brings back memories. I was a Getzen "sporesman" from the 
working musician stable from my Chicago Jazz LT\td. Days.
Still have a Severinsen model trumpet f rom those days of a new horn 
every year as my stipend. Tom Pletcher ended up with my cornet.
Best to all,
Don Ingle
