However, here is a posting I got this morning and I am posting it to you with permission from AMS-L. Kerri January 29, 2002 The National Endowent for the Arts released sad news today of the passing of Michael Hammond, the newly confirmed NEA Chairman, who took office on January 22, 2002. The NEA has asked that all media inquiries be passed on to its Communications Office at 202.682.5570. The following official statement was just issued by NEA Communications Director Mark Weinberg: "With the deepest regret we announce the death of Michael P. Hammond, Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts. It is a tragic loss for our nation that his tenure has been cut so short. All of us at the NEA had looked forward to his leadership, and we join our colleagues in the arts community in mourning his passing." *********** The following statement was issued today by Robert L. Lynch, President and CEO of Americans for the Arts: "I was deeply saddened to learn of the sudden death last night of Michael Hammond, who had been Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts for just one week. All of us at Americans for the Arts had been buoyed by his appointment as Chairman, because of his lifelong devotion to the arts and to arts education. I had the opportunity to meet with him last week to begin planning how best to work together on what he described as 'fostering an appetite for the arts for every American.' I was impressed with his enthusiasm and commitment and looked forward eagerly to working with him on many shared priorities. As a distinguished educator, composer, conductor, and champion of the arts, Michael Hammond brought a wide range of talents to the role of Chairman, and his appointment held great promise. The world of the arts is diminished by his departure but blessed by his lifelong dedication and contribution. At Americans for the Arts, we will continue to work to fulfill the hope we shared with Chairman Hammond that Americans will see the arts as a public good and understand the importance of the arts in the lives of our nation's children." ------------------------------------------------------- Kerri A.
