Dear Wayne, what sad news, I'm shocked. Having been a member since just before the NY tower terror, and have enjoyed immensly beeing able to communicate with this wonderful community that you enabled, I really hope that the lute list will continue in one way or another after you, because it has been such an incredible resource for all of us. I want to thank you FTBOMH for all these years, and all the work and energy that you have put into it. In the "History of the lute" you will definitely figure as a most important contributor and innovator, not least for the TAB program and also for all the other lute related activities. All things must pass, I wish they had lasted longer but I'm sure that the whole list will agree in sending you the best possible wishes and good luck, for what you will use your time for next, and hope that it will hopefully be lute related.
Thank you for these wonderful years Wayne and all the best of luck! G. -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
