New York, January 26, 1984
Mr. Simone Fernando Sacconi I met trough Emil
Herrmann the man who brought Sacconi to New York. Fernando and myself became at
once great friends which lasted for many years till Rembert Wurlitzer died;
with him he was in charge of all the youngsters learning how to build and
repair instruments.
We ate and drank good wine always and beside being a fabulous
violin maker and connaisseur he was a wonderful human being. I brought him also
to Pablo Casals for one festival in Puerto Rico.
We shall all never forget him
our dear friend Fernando.
