<span style="font-family:helvetica;font-size:12pt">Hi Choir, I haven't seen any word of Bill Orr's recent death in UCM mailings, but maybe I missed it . I was called on the phone by Bill's home caretaker to inform me of his passing. I was invited to a small, I sense by invitation only, gathering at Bill's home tonight at 6 PM to share memories of Bill , I and sometimes Fred Abraham (Bill's neighbor and a classmate friend of mine) met together over the years. Recently most of our contacts I initiated by phone. Bill was always cogent and we enjoyed these phone discussions . </span>

<span style="font-family:helvetica;font-size:12pt">I suggest choir have a moment of silence at tonight's practice and perhaps even some memories of Bill after choir. I recall our choir meeting at Catherine and Bill's home, but my friendship and time with Bill occurred mostly after Catherine's death. I treasure those times. By the way today would have been Bill's 95th or 96th BD. He had had significant heart issues these recent years. Harris <br></span>
