My condolences to the Tatge family, particularly Mary J Kay Oyen, for the loss of Doris. I enjoyed her company and our talks of the Cornish people and nationality. And, of course, I appreciated the great kindnesses of Ted. Wonderful people I shall miss them with fondness and good memories. Dorothy Beckwith
