[78-L] Robert Angus passed away

[David Lennick]

Just checked..my last message from him was July 9th, explaining that he'd had 
to cancel coming up to Toronto and been in hospital over the July 4th weekend. 
Thereafter, no messages and no replies to any I sent him.

Robert Angus spent a lot of time in Toronto as a teenager in the early 50s and 
was a fan of CBC Radio and knew a lot about small record labels. I believe he 
worked for Pickwick for a while, and I've found liner notes by him on a variety 
of albums including an Allegro reissue of Catches and Glees and a Furtwangler 
recording on an odd label. He was also a source of interesting old radio 
programs. Another one gone too soon.
