Come Hear the Music Play

DEAR JOHN; I WROTE THIS ARTICLE FIVE YEARS AGO AS YOU APPROACHED YOUR 90TH BIRTHDAY BUT I DIDN’T KNOW WHERE TO PLACE IT SO I PUT IT AWAY IN MY ‘UNPUBLISHED WRITINGS FILE’. I CAME ACROSS IT RECENTLY AND I ENJOYED RELIVING ITS HAPPENINGS SO MUCH THAT I DECIDED IT WOULD BE A SWELL WAY TO SAY ‘CONGRATULATIONS” NOW AS YOU APPROACH -95. IT COVERS YOUR 40 YEAR COLLABORATION WITH FRED AND IT BROUGHT BACK TO ME MANY HAPPY MEMORIES OF THE TWENTY YEARS OF THEM WHEN I REPRESENTED YOU BOTH. AS TRAVEL MATES WE SHARED SOME VERY SPECIAL TIMES AS WELL. SO HERE IT IS WITH LOVE AND ADMIRATION AS A BIRTHDAY GIFT FROM ONE OF OF YOUR FIRST FANS.R.S..
