Dear Marji and daughters,



Gary and I are so very sorry to learn of your loss. Oh my, what fond memories I have of Mac. What an incredible education it was to work for him and with him. Remember those months I worked with him in his tiny basement office? I think Sarah couldn't have been more than three or four at the time. It was from Mac that I learned just how many adjectives could be used to describe wines! And the value of not throwing any junk mail away that came to the house before it had been analysed properly! (And of course that could take months!) What a generous man filled with such a zest for life!!! He will be sorely missed! Love and hugs and peace to each of you through this very trying time.
