Hi Virginia. You might know my brother Raymond Filip as he is friends with David and they have worked together. Met your brother and his wife Liz a hundred years ago but don't think I ever met you. It was at his place on LaSalle Blvd I believe. Hope David's health has improved and wish him all the best.

I read Without a Parachute shortly after it came out. I loved it. I then loaned it to someone and ..... well you can guess the rest. Haven't seen it since. I'd love to re-read it, but it seems to be out of print. a French version coming out is a ray of hope.
