That is so sad, I really will miss him. He sent me an email about a year ago about his living in Ann Arbor while I was at The University of Michigan (and my Dad even drove me to his house once for a visit with him- he was super nice to me- even though I did not know didly). I remember "Dennis Loomis and Bonnie" who used to be on the Get-Together shows. Dennis worked with Doug Henning (and they were early friends in Colon), then eventually Dennis even became a magic dealer. I really, really enjoyed his recent articles in M-U-M: many of his colorful colummns told about his early Michigan days. I was not aware that Dennis was even ill, maybe that is why he stopped recently writing for M-U-M (and I thought he was one of their best contributors). Hope to see you tonight, I have no idea where El Barrio Mexican Grill is- I hope to find it. About time I made it up to GR for Ring 211, looks like good weather, I need to make the trip.
