With deepest sympathy to Elaine, family and friends.
I am a music lover who very much loved Maestro Toscanini. A few very brief conversations with Walfredo Toscanini over the years was a wonderful link to another time. Walfredo was a very sweet person to speak with and I will miss running into him at musical events in NYC.
