Congratulations Helene. This is Deborah Hawkins, your accompanist from decades ago. I always enjoyed working at the Towson State University Dance Department. I moved back to California and have lived there till now. I still have have the lovely little tray you gave me when you returned from a trip to Italy. Lucky for me I have been to Italy a few times since I received your gift. With Respect and admiration,
Deborah Davis Hawkins
