In the meantime: here’s a couple from KS’ on ‘Aunt Wendy’, his senoir-most aide: “Although she did not and could not write, she organised the commissioning and publishing of articles. She was an excellent sub and unsparing in her endeavour to see ‘The Weekly’ come up. Her dedication to her job and to me was complete. Without her, I could not have run the journal.” – The Good The Bad And The Ridiculous, Khushwant Singh
We are looking forward to hearing from you, or your friends-friend’s-friend…. more the merrier!
Please spread the word
