CLARISSA WATSON

Having grown up next door to the Watsons in Upper Brookville with Alden as one of my best friends, I am lucky to have lots of fun memories of Clarissa Watson. As I recently wrote to Robin, Chris was like royalty, even sitting in her kitchen brandishing a glass of Champagne and a cigarette (when she smoked!), regaling us with commentary or a good story. There will never be another like her, and I will miss her, as I miss Alden. Love to Robin and Jacques, Debbie Seaman

Robin, My thoughts are with you and I pray for you daily during this very difficult time of adjustment. I find your mother's accomplishments staggering and yet her greatest gift to my life was her daughter. Take care, dear friend.
