HG’s nephew, Jonathan K., and his beautiful wife Barbara, joined the HG/BSK family for dinner at HG/BSK’s Central Falls, RI.,loft. Jon is a super successful real estate developer and investor (the couple have palatial homes in Brookline, MA., and Cape Cod). Jon is 70 and Barbara is slightly his junior. They look years younger. In addition to his real estate career, Jon is a dedicated long distance cyclist. That means he has an extremely lean body which seems to be constructed of steel wires. Barbara looks just as she did when HG met her soon after her marriage to Jon years ago. No aging (and no signs of surgery). She too is quite athletic : a graceful, powerful swimmer. She has impeccable taste–very chic in usually black clothes. A very good cook (desserts are a specialty). She had a career in finance before marriage, so HG would venture she aids in financial products analysis. Jon is grateful to HG for advising him, post-college, to join his father, the late Daniel K., at his real estate company rather than pursue a career in automotive public relations (seems to have worked out). Lesley and Massimo R. brought dinner–roast chickens from a new Portuguese restaurant in Providence–accompanied by four tasty sauces, Fabulous. BSK constructed a sparkling salad. The entire family ate with gusto. Knowing HG’s love of custard, Barbara brought him her five-star custard for him in a big, big bowl. HG ate many portions mixed with succulent strawberries and blueberries. The rest of the table had Lesley’s splendid fruit crumble—Kind HG allowed sharing of minimal scoops of the custard. A memorable, joyous family occasion. And, we had frisky Toby, The Wonder Dog, to entertain us.
