Yes, Bob died. He was a terrific individual. He let me Zerox tons of
chamber music from his colossal library. It took up his entire house on
the old, old near East Side----not too far from Miss Lang's home. Bob
willed that library to Butler U. I asked him why not Indiana University's
library. He uttered a few expletives in the process of stating that he
didn't consider them competent.
