Dear Mr Zick,
I would appreciate your
posting this inquiry.
"Contact information is requested for the surviving family of
oboist/composer/educator Ernest Washington Simms (1910-1975) for a
research project on African-American oboe players. Mr. Simms attended
the Tuskegee Institute, the Berkshire Music Institute at Tanglewood, and
the New England Conservatory. He was the brother of Harry Noble Simms,
an educator/musician in New York (1915?-2012), and Robert Simms an
educator in Florida (1927-). He was also the uncle of Leah Simms, the
first black woman to serve as a judge in Florida.
Any contact information for surviving relatives is appreciated and
can be sent to Bill Wielgus of American University at
wwielgus@american.edu"
