Thankyou Ian for your lovely sentiment re Violet.........who indeed I am
most certain is beyond the need for such acolades........my visit at King
Street September 2003 for bout 2 weeks, indeed, found my interaction with
Violet to be most helpful & pleasant.......& I suspect is worth "many" years
of subscription (in fact,a veritable "goldmine").
Hoping Violet is still well & serving the ANESFHS as always.
My kindest regards
Stan Paul (Member).
