Dear ones,
I was saddened to hear yesterday that Richard Gronning passed away this
past weekend. Dick was an excellent luthier, building lutes mostly in
the 1970's, I think. He resided in a town south of Minneapolis and
spent most of his life in Minnesota. He was also a commercial pilot.
Dick's lutes were well crafted, and had a characteristically rich tone.
I do not know if there are many in circulation being used now, but i
know of 2 instruments.
Dick was very kind, an incredibly bright person, had a great sense of
humor, and was a great person. He will be missed.
Ed Martin
