E-mail from Lou Ann Preston
Hi Everyone,
I'm sure that a lot of you have heard, but I just wanted to send out this email to anyone who might not have heard (and I loved hearing from some of those who did call). On Sunday morning (February 3, 2008) Les had what the paramedics said was probably a brain anuerysm and passed away very quickly and I hope painlessly. Les and I have had a really rich life since we started up with the Bluegrass and Old Time music. We made many wonderful friends and had the best time of our lives. Les was very passionate about his music and loved every minute spent performing, jamming or just hanging around with all of you.
I'm not sure exactly what will happen now, but I'll keep everyone posted.
Love you all,
Lou Ann
