As much as I admire Rees and enjoyed reading his book, and as much as I 
appreciate Willis's accomplishments, it's hard for me to get past the first 
sentence of this interview:  "No woman has ever achieved a higher profile on 
the French horn than Sarah Willis."

That's so wrong, it's hard to know where to begin!  Let's start with Helen 
Kotas -- principal horn, Chicago Symphony, 1941-47.  Some list members might 
know of even earlier examples.  We all know of many later ones.
