Dear Magda,
I was sorry to hear from, our mutual friend Chris Hansan, in Malaysia, of Alfred's recent passing.
Those 3 happy years Eileen and I spent with you and Alfred and in Cordoba, with the other 20 members of the team, are times I do not think any of us will ever forget.
Please accept my sincere condolences to you and your family.
Best Regards,
Terry Creaney
