[78-L] Lee Wiley jilts one guy to marry Jess Stacy

Jeff Sultanoff asks: “That's a book I will be very interested in 
buying. No one knew more about
Berigan than Bozy White.”

I don’t know the name of the publisher or even if a name has been 
decided on yet, My understanding is this is a private job, not through 
an established book publisher. Although IAJRC members have been 
involvled, this does not bear the IAJRC imprematur. I forgot to mention 
the book will be in two volumes. The book has been delayed for about 
three years because a relative of Bozy’s only recently agreed to 
finally sign off on permitting the text to be printed. Prior to this 
she had not responded to phone calls, mail, or attempts to contact her 
in person. This is yet another example of estate problems that can crop 
up to complicate or nullify the release of a work that would benefit 
interested parties and the author or artist. A biography of drummer 
Louis Bellson has ground to a halt for these very reasons. Sometimes 
misguided widows think they’re protecting the interests of their 
deceased spouses when, in fact, they are denying additions to their 
legacies.
