PP & M were in Minneapolis last October at Orchestra Hall. My wife Debbie and I thoroughly enjoyed the concert. Mary was in a wheelchair during the concert. When she was moved onto and off stage, stagehands placed a portable wall on casters to shield the audience from viewing the wheelchair moving. Mary's vocals were surprisingly strong for her condition. She was optimistic at that time that the leukemia had been put into remission.

I had seen them nearly every time they were in the Twin Cities the past 25 years or so. Their harmonies were timeless. They did much to launch Bob Dylan and Gordon Lightfoot with their own careers.

Sympathies to Peter, Paul and all the fans- we've lost a pioneer and legend.
