In the early days of the Beers Family, Fox Hollow Festival, Bob Lurtsema was a fixture and a wonderful presence. One year he showed up with a tank of helium and balloons. His late evening poetry recitations were a joy.

Rest old friend!

I heard from a friend at WGBH that on Wed, 7/26, there will be a memorial concert for Robert J. Lurtsema, the host of MORNING PRO MUSICA, who passed away last month. A group of Boston-area musicians, choral groups and poets will perform in tribute to Robert J. Scheduled for 8pm at the First Baptist Church at 633 Centre St in Jamaica Plain, the concert is free and open to the public. Any donations will be given to the Robert J. Lurtsema Fund for the Arts. For more info: [phone].

After the discussion about him after heis death, I thought there might be some Mudcatters who would be interested to know about this.
