Thanks for the felicitations. The sheer unexpectedness of the legacy makes it all the more delightful. Life is so strange: we often get what we don't deserve and vice versa. That photo of Herta,I assure you,doesn’t 'do her justice' as they say. She looks a little apprehensive. The car crash (she was with'her husband) mu have been a xxxx pretty awful experience: waking up injured in hospital and being told her husband was dead. Anyway,the photo shows she isn’t the English conception of a busty hausfrau. You will like her. Thank Peggie for confirming my feeling that one doesn't pay on legacies - the law keeps being amended and I thought the buggers might have changed it for the worse. Glad you saw Jack recently and that he's happy to be xxxxx back, strikes etc. notwith- standing. But how disappointing that he Text Saturday, August 20, 2016 - 11:12
