To Brian and the entire Dinnigan family, please accept my sincere condolences. I knew your Dad Walter way back and had you for private Trombone lessons with André LeClair. Ultimately your son was in first grade at the Harrington when I ended up teaching there as well. It has been a long journey. I hope you all remember your Mom with true Love. Sincerely, John Leite
