Can You Help Bob Carroll’s Family?

Image result for gentlemen prefer blondes

 

As you know, we lost our classmate Bob Carroll this past New Year's Eve. Bob was our class Music Man. Among other accomplishments, he wrote a special song - The Lorelei Theme - for our senior play, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Bob's son, Sean Carroll, would like to locate the sheet music for The Lorelei Theme if it still exists, perhaps tucked away in a memory box one of you may have. So, if you can help Bob's family find the sheet music, please give a shout. That would make Sean's day. Thanks.
