Message: [QUOTE="OldSchooler, post: 4533295, member: 11804"] Sincere condolences. I went to a matinee concert at Symphony Hall in Boston on November 22, 1963. In the midst of the performance, the conductor, Erich Leinsdorf, turned to the audience and announced that JFK had just been the victim of an assassination. After a quick substitution of the 2nd movement of Beethoven's third symphony (the funeral march), the president of the BSO came to the stage and said that when his mother died, he went to the symphony that day to find consolation in the music. He now decided to go on with the rest of the concert after intermission this day, so the audience might similarly find consolation before heading home. I hope you, as a loyal UConn fan, will find consolation in watching our girls performing at their best. And I hope you'll be able to bond with your Dad in doing this for many years to come. [/QUOTE]
