<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
I am writing to you on behalf of Stephanie Hall, who contacted the
TRIC/RTAC office regarding an article she had read in TRIC by
Patrick B. O'Neill about the Dumbells. Stephanie's grandfather,
Norman Fraser Allan, was a member of the Dumbells, and Stephanie
is now searching for any information, photos, sheet music, or
other material pertaining to this group or to her grandfather
specifically.<br>
<br>
If anyone has come across any information about the Dumbells or
Norman Fraser Allan over the course of their research, Stephanie
would be grateful to hear from you. She can be reached at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:stephhall3@gmail.com" target="_blank">stephhall3@gmail.com</a>.
Alternatively, if you'd prefer to forward information to us at the
TRIC office, we'd be glad to pass it on to her.<br>
<br>
Thank you for any assistance you can offer.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
Kelsy Vivash<br>
Senior Editorial Assistant, TRIC/RTAC <br>
