Late addition to the newsletter April 14

Former Spanish teacher Libbie Kozma is in critical condition in a Hollywood, Florida hospital. She misses teaching tremendously and was very sad to have retired. She misses her former students and would like to know what they have been up to.

Margaret Kozma Ryan (daughter)

We know that she will never return home. If she gets any stronger, she will go to a nursing home. Otherwise, into hospice. We will have an answer at the end of the week. She is in Memorial Hospital South, 3600 Washington Street, Room 417, Hollywood, FL 33021

We are back at our performance home of St. Joseph's Church, 371 6th Ave, New York City, ( that's the corner of 6th Ave. and Washington Place in the Village ).Second, the "night" will be a tribute to noted arranger and composer Robert De Cormier, ( you could look it up, or check out the Glass Menagerie's web site, glassmenagerie.org. All the music performed will be works that Mr. De Cormier either arranged and or wrote. The highlight piece will be the entire "Jolly Beggers" .
