Ross supported us by allowing us tons of time on air to talk about our documentaries. He did it because he truly wanted to help us succeed and he knew this was something his listeners needed to know about. I only saw him a few times and yet he always treated me like we were old friends and made all of us feel truly welcome. He will be missed by our team and everyone who knew him.<br /><br />Bob Miano, Civil PicturesDirector Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15762831194633527387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12394500.post-79624604085376104322013-02-24T23:40:09.962-06:002013-02-24T23:40:09.962-06:00St. Louis musicians have lost their best ambassad...St. Louis musicians have lost their best ambassador and supporter for live Jazz. I remember getting Ross to jam with us - he was a pretty good trumpet player. It's really a shame the way he was treated by SIUE. Ross really loved his music. He will be missed by listeners and players alike. <br /><br />Gary PresleyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11923505815117781322noreply@blogger.com
