[78-L] Paul Tanner, last surviving member of Glenn Miller's orchestra, dies

[Taylor Bowie]

I don't think Peck is considered part of the "classic" Miller band.  Kay 
made that one record but was only with the band for a couple of weeks,  as I 
recall.

Bassist Trigger Alpert is now the last living member of the famous Miller 
band.
