[Dixielandjazz] Bill Gunter RIP

[Don Ingle]

Bill Gunter, gone?
Worst news we could ever hear. What a loss of a truly nice soul. I was 
happy to have been there this year to share some moments with him and I 
also am happy to have a picture of Bill and I on the fnal evening, when 
he was still feeling the effects of the sunstrokle and was just taking 
it easy. Perhaps that led to the strain on his heart.
He wlll long be remembered  for his great good humor, and though I didi 
know him as long as you did, Bob,  I am happy to have known him as well 
as I did through our email joshing and exchanges and to share some great 
fun together at three of the Logan festivals.
I share the sense of loss as all of hs friends will, as does Jean.
Rest easy Bill, you earned a final "take five." .
