No, it was Leon Lester, who last I heard is still alive and teaching in the
area. His teacher, as I understood it, was Lucien Cailliet, who kept up an
association with things in the Philadelphia area long after he left the
Philadelphia Orchestra to go to Hollywood.

Where did Reinhardt teach band? I knew of him by having been taken by a
couple of my trombone-playing friends to their private lessons at his
apartment. I didn't know he taught school.
