A special note here to friends of Jim Sheehan of New York, well-known McCormack fan and collector:

Jim has been unwell in recent years and is now in a nursing home. Relatives and friends maintain close contact with him, and his health is stable, although he is not always fully aware of his surroundings and visitors' identity.

Cards and other greetings may be sent to the following address and will be forwarded (unopened) to one of Jim's close friends who visits him often and will read cards and letters to him:

James Sheehan
c/o P. Worth
P.O. Box 366
Manchaca, Texas 78652
USA

This friend commented recently that Jim (who turned 88 this year) still enjoys listening to McCormack recordings on a Walkman and often sings along!
