[Dixielandjazz] There goes the Robert E. Lee...

[Gluetje1 at aol.com]

Beth, I had not immediately associated those two losses, but you're right,  
it is unnerving.  I caught one of the news channel's brief interview with  
Jean Kittrell about her days on the Robert E. Lee.  Just from the  
interview, Jean did not look as hale and hearty as I would wish.
 
The Jazz Incredibles kept me coming back to the Robert E. Lee  which got me 
to the Goldenrod Festivals which rekindled my long dormant  enjoyment of 
Dixieland.
 
And, yes, in it's heyday, much of the food was splendid there, including  
the bouillabaisse.

To lose  John Becker and the Robert E. Lee so close to each other is
quite  unnerving. Thank goodness Red Lehr is still going  strong!

Cheers,
