On a personal note, Curt composed a piece entitled "Journey to the Sea" for the Pawcatuck Middle School 7/8 Band which premiered in May of 2011. Your paper covered this story very nicely. I hope you consider listing this event sponsored by ASCAP. I am attaching a current photo of Curt Dumas. Thank you for your time.
