Roberta, please accept my apology for being late. It is sad to me to see that another warm link to my 18 years in Astoria. Speaking to your Mom some years ago, I am so deeply sorry of the loss of your mother. Both your father and mother I remember so well. I am deeply sorry to have learned, a little late I know, of her passing. God bless Robert and may you have many very good days ahead as your parents would wish. I always valued the families of my excellent and so personable school students which I was able to experience. I remember well our so quality flute days. My regrets and wishes for you. / Wilbur Carlton
