Cookie may not remember me, but please tell her hello for me....from UMKC days. I thought about her not long ago, wondering where she is. Cool! Wish I could make it, but TubaSummer in Akron has already claimed me.

I attended Klezkamp in 1992 or thereabouts, when it was held in the Catskills at The Paramount hotel during Christmas Break. I loved it...would love to go back with tuba in tow!
