[SBE] Passing of Larry Bloomfield

[Bill Barber]

Larry was an enthusiastic Broadcaster, and also an avid Theatre Organ 
hobbiest.  One of his stories (how he was kicked out of the Gallery of 
the Roman Catholic church for using a cymbal crash on the converted 
organ in the church (("The Sister came running up the steps two at a 
time, grabbed me and said "OUT")) ) still makes me smile.  I'm sorry 
that I won't get to talk to him again.  wb
