Dear Steve,
Once again, I wasn't paying enough attention.
In my head, I concluded that Pete Beildman(n) would be at the wedding.
Considering that he was born on 8 November 1905 [according to the 
Feather Encyclopedia], I suspect not.
Unfortunately, I have yet to find a death date.
However, I have discovered that he was a very highly regarded musician 
and jazzman.
Kind regards,
Bill (listening to Pete Beildman at the moment).
