Got an email today informing me that long time RMMGA member Dick Thaxter has passed away.

He was a good man.

He worked at the Library of Congress, or am I
thinking of someone else? Been quite a while since
we heard anything from him. I hope his death
wasn't the result of some lingering and/or painful
illness.

Yes, Dick worked at the Library of Congress, and retired earlier this year. He did have a lingering illness, but maintained a great attitude throughout. I last saw him in August, when he hosted a jam session at his house....a bunch of folks from RMMGA history were there, we all had a splendid time.

Mr. Dorgan, it is sure good to see your name...would certainly like to see your face at EC of these days. Be well.
