Re: FRANK JAMES 1940-2020
Works fine for me, thank you Chunny, a great service to the gramophone community.
I acquired my copy from Frank when he repaired the horn of my Mk VIII. He still had a stash at the time.
Have tried sending you e'mails Chunny but suspect they may be ending up in your spam folder.

Many of us who were Frank's friends will have have already received personal invitations.

Re: FRANK JAMES 1940-2020
Roger and myself will be going to Frank's Service-would not miss it. I hope that as many that new him will make the effort to attend.
I think I had one of the first copies of "The E.M.G. Story" and Frank initialed it with a little note.

Very sadly indeed Celestine and I will not be able to be there due to a prior wedding commitment. Please pass on our best and warmest thoughts to the family. A truly wonderful man.

Frank's handwriting became a little shaky with advancing years. It reads :
"To Roger, who shares my irrational enthusiasm!"

Re: FRANK JAMES 1940-2020
At long last Frank's family and friends were able to properly celebrate his life. After the Memorial Service we adjourned to the Village hall for tea, where Frank's EMG was already set up. Operated by two elderly DJ's (Alastair and myself) it provided welcome entertainment.

I never knew this man who obviously meant a lot to gramophone enthusiasts and collectors, but want to show my respect and condolences with this small message.
