Robin,

I was just informed that John Given died last week of leukemia--apparently, it was sudden an unexpected.

Thanks, Thomas. Apparently this report flew under your radar ...

Yes, I've been lax at all my reading.

Interesting that, besides wine, you and John shared the same things that John and I shared. We met many years ago when he was making the move from writer to importer.

I hadn't talked with him in a while and I am quite distressed by the news. A truly fine person, John was--and almost as smart as the fellow he resembled.
