And it's good to see your name here, too, Laura "Pinto" Winitsky. Please feel free to email me at [email protected] if you wish. It's been a long time; and, as a writer (yep, I said I was going to do it and, over the years, have been published quite extensively- you had a lot to do with it, you were very supportive) I was embarrassed about my typo.

Of course, I meant to write "met Richard" when were were 12, not "my Richard". He and I were like siblings who actually liked one another. Miss him to this day.
Again, all condolences on the loss of Mr.Glasser.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Your family was always so kind to me when I was young. He will be missed.

Dearest Joan, Debbie and family: I am absolutely shocked by the news of Bernie's passing. I loved your husband (and father), and had the utmost respect for his kindness & friendship throughout the years. He was way more than a client, he was my friend and I consider all of you family. My heart is broken and I hold all of you tightly in my prayers. Love - Sandra Kuker, Beverly Hills & Palm Springs

I am terribly sorry to read about Bernard Glasser, as I was very close with his late son, Richard, having my Richard when I was 12. I didn't know Mr. Glasser well, but his wife, Richard's mother, and I were very friendly and I found her charming and very nice. I have missed Richard terribly for many years, and am, frankly, in shock that Bernard went on so much longer than Richard. My condolences to his family, and friends. (I lived in L.A. almost all my life but had to move here to Indiana for... other reasons.)
