[Dixielandjazz] Fionna Duncan

[Robert Ringwald]

Hi Ken,

Thanks.  I look forward to getting an update on Fionna's health and her 
e-mail address.

Regarding the missing post from a digest, I am at a loss.  I'll send this to 
the DJML Assistant Moderator Dave Haupt to see if he can sort it out.

Best,

--Bob Ringwald
