Thank you, Greg, I did not know this. Who will be managing his affairs,
please?

I met Fritz when he lived in Phoenix AZ and worked at KOOL AM radio. He
studied harp with me for several months. I made a guest appearance on his
radio show, playing harp, and straight man to his never ending wit. I DO
miss him!

I play one of his wood shell green bullet mics and like it very much! He
put a gold Gibson guitar volume knob on it. And just last year replaced a
failing pot for me.

Lorna and I visited with him in his San Francisco  Bay Area home years ago,
and toured thru his amazing basement of wood blocks, ready for turning on
the lathe. I may find some photos of that trip.
