FW: Glenn Gould Magazine

[St-Laurent Gilles <gsl@nlo.nlc-bnc.ca>]

Dear f_minor subscribers:

With respect to the overdue third issue of the GlennGould magazine, I can 
pass on the following as a director of  the Gould Foundation:

The delay is not John Miller's fault.  The graphic designer who has been 
responsible for the layout and design of all issues of the magazine thus far 
was gravely ill last summer.  He was hospitalized, eventually operated on 
and required about 3 months of recovery, which stretched into the fall. 
  All the copy for the delayed issue of the magazine was ready many months 
ago but the bottleneck was in the layout and design stage.  A new layout 
artist had to be found and engaged.  Once the delay extended into October, 
the Foundation decided to update that issue of the magazine with news and 
photos of the September 25th
Gould prize ceremony in Toronto, which further delayed it.  The issue has 
now been delivered from the printer and is being mailed to subscribers this 
week and next.  The Gould Foundation regrets these delays and wants to 
assure all subscribers that they will receive their promised issues of the 
magazine *very* soon.  We thank you for your understanding and patience just 
a little while longer.

For your further information, there are now several hundred subscribers in 
27 countries, numbers which the Glenn Gould Foundation didn't even dream of 
a year ago.  John Miller is essentially a one-man operation and as such can 
only accomplish what is humanly possible for one man.  He will have 
additional help in the New Year on matters relating to the Gould Foundation 
and the magazine.  Early word has it that copy for the spring '97 issue is 
largely complete already and John is predicting that it will be published on 
time.

On behalf of the Glenn Gould Foundation, may I extend all good wishes of the 
season and for 1997 to subscribers of the f_minor discussion list. -

   Hell no I haven't gotten it, and I thought I was in tight with John
Miller!! Ok, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but still, I paid my 
outrageous
membership fee, I could at least get one of my puny $25 magazines. I know
Miller's mentioned how incredibly overworked and understaffed he is, but it
is nearly 1997 and still no Sept. issue. I'll give him a few more weeks, and
then I'm going to whip out the Ouija board and tattle to Glenn all of the
horribly competitive things that the Society is doing in his name. That'll
teach 'em!
