From: Alfred Appel Jr. (deceased)
Alfred Appel to Mark Johnstone
Dear Mark: Belated thanks for yr. letter & exhibition announcement. Good luck with it! I regretted to learn of Ben's [Benschneider] death, & appreciate your own sense of loss. My condolences to you. I was very sorry to have the Colorado gig cancelled—was greatly looking forward to it. Next yr, I hope. Speaking of "gigs"—& jazz talk, did you know that Inglewood is the hometown of the late, lamented ZOOT SIMS? You asked what I'm up to w/ Larry Burrows.... same project, lecture from 1 1/2 yrs ago—a study of the American war culture, which will cover, in part, photo journalism, too, esp. LIFE mag. in 3 wars. Have you seen the new U.S. stamp memorializing Korea based on a D. D. [David Duncan] Duncan photo no credit to him, obv. Hope all goes well, Best, Alfred Appel
