We join Executive Director JOHN DE CLEF PIÑEIRO in thanking JOSEPH & LINDA PEHRSON for hosting our annual holiday party! John wrote: “Our NYCC spirits were not only raised but were exemplified by the generous hospitality of our dear hosts Joe and Linda. And for that convivial afternoon (and it wasn’t the first) we want to thank and acknowledge them as colleagues and friends!” (For those of you who got this email directly from John, sorry I can’t include the turkey background art!)

NYCC follower HENRY GREENBERG has in storage an antique Mason Hamlin, an AA from 1929, serial #36836, that began life as a player so has a sounding board larger than a standard AA. It is now in Yonkers. He would like to donate it to an organization that can offer an IRS recognized charitable status. He writes: “It needs work and I suspect an organization would need to have a fund raiser or two to get the job done. It now resides at a warehouse/restoration shop that can do the job.” If interested, contact Henry Greenberg at 212-496-2665
