Doris Rich

Missing you, Mom. And Dad, too. My heart still aches with both grief and gratitude. No parents could have been better ones for me. Or friends more loved. And just so's you know: Every year, I remind the bartenders up there to add two olives to each martini, not one.

They *were* remarkable people. So grateful to have been their childand friend. They'll be a large chunk of my heart until my heart stops beating.

Doris and Stan were remarkable people and friends. Doris was my Matron of Honor when Rob & I married at Sha Tin outside Hong Kong. Stan was at our Saigon wedding. We kept up as often as we were on the same continent, each time a joy. Last time, after Stan's death, a wonderful evening with Doris in D.C.

My parents, Victor and Jean Harrington of New York, NY were friends of both Stan and Doris. My folks are gone, and I'm sure they had a nice cup of tea with Stan and Doris!

I miss you and your delightful stories.

Why Do Americans Have The Right to Own Gold? When i get to Heaven and , if i find Stanley and doris Rich there, I want to thank them for all they've done to help me and others, If was a Stanley Utlity knife and cake and or pie are what ever it is or was! Thanks.

Over the years since then we didn't meet often but when we did - in London and Washington - Doris...

During the following years, we have laughed, danced to some good jazz, drank fine wine, exchanged letters and newspaper clippings as well as observations on what was happening in the world; celebrated the good things (Obama) and lamented the bad things. Doris (and Stanley) came to Australia which included a flying visit to Condobalin and became very much part of our...

I met Doris and Stanley when they visited Deb in SF. Intelligent, loving, strong, witty, fascinating, so many words available to describe a couple to whom words meant so much.

It was a wonderful dinner and I left that night with my head swimming with the conversations we'd had, viewpoints I hadn't considered, subjects I didn't know enough about, and ack, homework to do to figure out how I felt about what we'd discussed.

It was wonderful to meet Deb's...
