<P>I have picked up your email on Pat's computer. I am sorry to tell you that
Pat is terminally ill and is now in a Nursing Home nearby and will probably not
be home again. I would be grateful if you would circulate the Dixie Land
Jazz list on my behalf.</P>
<P>We both have fond memories of your visit to England when you came to see us
for a day.</P>
<P>Many thanks and all good wishes.</P>
<P>Wendy Ladd<BR></P></DIV>
