Peter Wolford

[Horace Greeley]

Hi, David,

I'll be out of town at my son's college graduation, or I would definitely 
be there.  Peter was a real professional, a tireless worker, and was one of 
the few folks I know who actually could get away with wearing a 
kilt!  You're right, too - his instruments were simply rock solid...folks 
just don't tune like that anymore.

If you are there, and it seems appropriate, please pass along my 
condolences and regards.

Thanks very much for letting us know.

Best.

Horace
