Heather and I received the sad new of the passing of Lee Haggerty this morning. Lee, along with Sandy and Caroline Paton put the wonderful Folk-Legacy record company together in the early sixties, and although I know something of his history, perhaps Sandy might be able to better tell his story. No hurry though, as I know the Patons' are feeling the loss of their friend deeply at the moment.

I only had one long chat with Lee during my many visits to Sharon Ct. over the last 7 years, but it was a good one. He talked enthusiastically about how meeting Sandy changed his life. Sandy can do that you know. I speak from experience. On many occasions though, we'd exchange "hellos" as he pulled his funky old car into the Folk-Legacy drive way to start work on the books.

Our condolences to Sandy and Caroline and Lee's family.

Rick and Heather
