It's been a long time since Ivan and I spent time in Aspen. I remember watching Betty string together a necklace which she then gave to me. I still treasure it. I also remember being in your home when the dogwood were in bloom and it was the first time I had peeled asparagus. I've been doing it ever since! What a hostess! Please accept my sincere condolences, Will. She was an extraordinary woman and will be missed.
