Boris, we were saddened to read of Audrey's passing in the FP internet Passages Column yesterday. Please accept and convey our most sincere condolences to all of Audrey's family. I have the fondest memories of the time I spent as a kid at the "Caister's". And the welcome we were accorded at the Zurkan's in latter years. The season has been less festive upon hearing of your loss. Our thoughts will be with you all on Thursday.
