Shirley was spending time in NYC as part of her recuperation from the death of her partner Alexis Kuhr. We had a great visit and had lunch here. We had not seen Shirley or her partner Alexis since 2018. It is a complicated story and not one I will go into. We were all very close and had an intense friendship. It was wonderful to see Shirley. We had very much missed seeing both of them. ]]>
