I have such fond memories of the humor Chris and I shared many moons ago, when we were both so young. Speaking of brave I took Chris down to my rat infested loft on wall street after our first meeting that my mother organized, he asked if he was being kidnapped, speaking of courage! ..what an unexpected delight , I laughed the whole evening, charmed by this elegant, divinely handsome, highly intelligent man . My Condolences
