This is very sad news. After has wife died, Lon had trouble staying active in the mail, but on occasion we would hear from him, and Lady C and I still have a piece of his framed in our house.

Lon had a heart attack two nights ago and has passed away. A memorial and
celebration of his life will be held in San Pedro, California on Sunday 15
December at Bartlett Center, 11th and Beacon Street.  2 p.m.  See
mapquest.com for driving instructions, if you can make it.

Please tell all the mail artists who knew Lon about this sad news.  He was a
catalyst during the late 70s and 1980s in the Mail Art World, and everyone
should know about his passing.

Thanks.
