I must say that I kept looking for you to make the London scene but one of these days I hope to do the show in Los Angele (At the Huntington Hartford!) and maybe then you can find your way to the theatre and really get a 'kick' out of seeing what you saved for the world! Mainly this is to wish for you both all the good things of Hannukah (sic) and Xmas and Tita and I will be back in Palm Springs with the 27th to spend New Years Eve in Palm Springs with the Annenbergs and then back to Bev Hills to take a cruise with the Al Parvins and then rest in L.A. until, the National tour of the show is finalized. Have Happiness and Health and above all LOVE!
