Dear Becky,
Thank you for your nice note. I am so sorry that both Lee and Mel have died. They were so generous to take me in the last three years of high school, and to see me through much of my adolescence. I am very grateful to Lee for teaching me how to plan a menu, cook a roast, stud a leg of lamb with garlic, make dolmathes, and at Christmas, to bake an old-fashioned pound cake and make a proper eggnog!

Love,

Aida
