     He moved to the Boston area in what I'm guessing was the 
mid-seventies,and was managing a restaurant in Lynn,Mass., which is just 
north of Boston.  The restaurant, as best I can recall was 
Somebody-or-other's Lighthouse,  Romy's Lighthouse, maybe.  He played 
occasionally,but nowhere near as much as a guy with his talent should have. 
As I remember, the word on him was he was just keeping his nose to the 
grindstone running this restaurant.  Some of the other Boston guys might 
know a lot more than me...Mazzy, maybe,or Monat.

He also made a TV show in Chicago in 1970, one episode of a PBS  show called 
Just Jazz,as a sideman in a band led by Marty Grosz.  Marty might have kept 
in touch,  I don't know.  That's all I got.
