Of course we are shocked to hear the sad news about Paul's passing. Very glad we had the opportunity to spend some time with him and Virginia in April at their London home. We were hoping we would see him and Virginia again this summer. We will stay in touch with Virginia and wish her the very best. Luv, Anne and Dieter
