Not if my memory is correct, I was at my brother in laws house for sunday dinner, was watching tv when it came over and I am sure they cancelled the rest of the Brands meeting. I couldnt eat and went outside to be alone with my grief, even my wife was surprised at my reaction and at that point I lost a lot of interest in the sport, if it could happen to the Maestro !!!!!
