What a wonderful recap of a wonderful relationship. I had forgotten you spent time in Sint Maarten. Jean and I went there 40 years or so ago with Tinka and Bud Topping and stayed at Oysterpond Resort that was somehow connected with Larry Ingolia...then a Hampton Day School parent. We loved it and now...4+ decades later we will vacation there for two weeks in January. This time, on the French side, not far from Marigot. We will think of you every day. I promise.

I hope you aren't disappointed. It's very different now. :)

That's why we chose the French side. Can't be worse than the change to the Hamptons in the 55 years I have lived here...

What a beautiful and deep relationship with a long standing friend. Thanks for sharing - it got me to think about my own "Lorie"..."Judy"!

A beautiful story and tribute to your friendship. She's correct, you're a great writer! I love to read your stories. And I too have spent some time in SXM. It is very different now for sure. But fond memories for me.
