[f_minor] Howard Scott dies age 92

[Anita Monroe]

Hi Pat,

In this country not many people pay attention to classical music.  A very
tiny few. And nobody knows any birthdays or dates of death of ANY of them.
 A few people know about GG, but they know little about him.  It just can't
be helped.  Time marches on.

Fond regards,
Anita
