For those of you who may not have heard yet Chris Goodwin sent out this message yesterday.
"We are very sorry to announce that Ian Harwood MBE, founder of the world's first lute society, scholar and teacher of lute building, pioneer in the revival of our beloved lute, died peacefully last night, after a year-long battle with cancer, bravely borne. It is understood that the family would prefer a quiet, private funeral. We will give out details of plans for a memorial service as we receive them. There will be short obituary note in the forthcoming issue of Lute News; the October issue will be a memorial issue, and friends and colleagues are invited to write tributes and memoirs." He will be sadly missed. Monica -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
