Oh, Ruth, I am so very sorry to have not known of Martin´s death! I am out in Washington State and only occasionally in touch with Lainie. I so very often think of Martin, every time I listen to Guiomar Novaes on a CD! (Amber and I married to the music of Novaes playing Chopin). I think of you as well in this terrible time! May you be well and cared for by your sisters and nieces and friends !

I'm shocked by the loss of Martin Goldstein. I'm so sorry for the children's loss, the loss for the wife and family. Dr Goldstein was a true animal lover. I will miss not hearing from him in the future. Perhaps, someone can take over his passion. You were a good man! Thanks for helping dog's like you have. Thanks for helping the owner's too. You are a very unique man, you will be missed a lot. Condolences to all!!
