I was just notified that Milan Yancich died yesterday at the age of
86. Milan was a good friend and a loyal member of IHS. As I recall
he served two or three terms on the Advisory council and contributed
much through his business, Wind Music, Inc. He was a fine horn
player and played and taught in the Rochester, NY Symphony and
Eastman School. He was also an author and supplied us all with a lot
of great arrangements for horn choir, for ensembles, and solo
materials. If I remember correctly, he was largely responsible for
the publication of all the Farkas books. We all owe him a great
debt of gratitude and thanks. We shall miss him profoundly. To
those who didn't know him, I suggest you read his book, A View From
The Rear.
