Hi, Kathi,
Thanks so much--those are good leads as well.
I received the following from my relative that I thought I'd pass along.
He is over the moon with the response from everyone!
"THANK YOU so much! I am very impressed with the enthusiasm and the
helpful responsiveness of your ARSC colleagues.
"This one is particularly interesting! The review of The Scandinavian
Concert in the Harvard Crimson that Thomas sent you is the actual
concert where James Homer Wright, the MGH pathologist, first heard Aagot
Lunde sing, and decided the next day to start sending her roses every
day until she agreed to meet him. They married and lived happily until
her death ~23 years later."
I thought that some of you might enjoy the little tidbit.
Cheers,
Richard
