[Dixielandjazz] Fw: Monte Tabbert -- Queen City Jazz Band

[Dan Dawson]

I'm hoping this e-mail reaches Robin Tabbert (Sotelo) - daughter of
Monte Tabbert.

 

My father and mother were good friends of your mom, Ruth, and your
father, whom I remember coming over to our house in Deer Park.

After your father tragically died, you and your sisters stayed with us
for a while, don't know if you will remember me, my name is Dan Dawson,
and I remember going over to your house many times, you lived pretty
close to where my Grandmother lived, by the Nazarene Church. We would go
over to your house after the 4th of July fireworks in Blue Ash.

 

My father had some good pictures of your dad and mine sitting together
in our backyard, both of them with their dark sunglasses on.

 

I remember one time your dad chasing me around the outside of our house,
just horsing around, I remember both your mom and dad very well.

 

My dad passed a few years back, too many years of smoking caught up with
him.

 

I don't know if you remember my sister Nancy, but she died a few months
ago, reaction to pain meds she was taking for a leg injury.

 

I believe your sister Sherri died way too young as I recall, I was very
sorry to hear that.

 

Well, if you get this, write back if you care to.

 

Dan Dawson
