It is with great sadness, that I report the  passing of the world's 
greatest clarinetist, good friend and band mate, Chuck  Hedges.

*********

Some of you may have received this sad news  already and some of you may 
not know Chuck but I’m sending this sad message to  everyone I can think of.  

I'm sorry to report that our  friend, the great clarinetist Chuck Hedges 
passed away Wednesday, June 23,  around 1:30 AM at his Milwaukee home.  

If you want to contact  Carol Hedges and the family here's their contact

However, the Hedges  family desperately needs a break right now after being 
awake for the last 48+  hours. They thank you all for your support but ask 
that you wait for another day  or two to express your condolences until they 
have caught their  breath.

At this time, I do not know of any plans for a memorial  service.
