Art here:

Well, the storms here recently hit our phone company hard and I haven't been able to dial up to get on line for two days. Peace, your P.M. confused me. I just answered it thinking Ron Stevens was actually you all this time we've both been posting here at Mudcat. Anyhow, Ron, I just sent a personal message back to Peace thinking it was you I was talking to.

Ron, ---- sure I remember you. I tie you in, for some reason, with Art Rosenbaum. Maybe it was the time in the 1970s we brought Art Rosenbaum in to do a benefit with a bunch of us on the show---for Sing Out! magazine. As I recall it, Phil Ochs was on the show too---and Malvena Reynolds; and Marjorie Guthrie was there too for some reason. George Robinson was the manager of the Quiet Knight either before or after you were in that position. Mike Urschel was there then also.   I recently saw Richard Harding at the Memorial gathering for Fred Holstein a while back--at the Old Town School Of Fake Music. It is real strange but the best reunions lately all take place at the wakes for friends.------ I remember, also, you having quite strong opinions on folk music---ones I generally shared too--but you seemed angrier than I was... Still, here at Mudcat I get called a "Folk Nazi" sometimes for saying like it was in our times. As a result, I am here less and less now.---- And you were married to Judy, right?! A lovely girl!
Nice to be sort of in touch.
