I am in the Hamptons now and tried to get in touch with my good friend David Alberta, who I last spoke to In Palm Beach, April before leaving to Toronto
So sorry to hear that he passed away. I will miss him because over the years we were together with Graham and my husband Jimmy, and always had a very good time.
Truly saddened that I will not see him here this time in tha Hamptons. And of course sorry I will not see him again in Palm Beach.
Love, Elaine Kay
