Re: David Weber - A Legend Passes

I had the pleasure of playing in the clarinet section with Dave Weber when he "filled in" for Harold Wright for the National Symphony's summer concert season back in the late 1960's. Contrary to John Moses's allusion to his reputation as having a "New York edge", he was a kind and considerate colleague; it was a joy to make music with him!

A few months later, when the NSO was playing in NYC, he made it a point to treat Bill Wright and me to a sumptuous French dinner at Le Biarritz!

I deeply regret that that was the last time we had any personal contact (even though I got to send him a birthday card for his 90th), but I'll always treasure the few weeks that we were colleagues.
