Mark and all,

At our age this happens way too much. Please accept our heartfelt condolences. We had our Old Town Folklore Center in Chicago with so many similar tales of grand flames of life who are gone now. I got to the Village Folklore Center only once. Mark Silber was there, and Izzy had few kind words for us as he felt we had stolen his store's name for our store. So be it. Onward to Rick and Izzy.
