Today we celebrate the birth of 𝗟𝘂𝗸𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗻𝗲𝗿 - my glorious nephew; 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗶𝗿𝘀𝗰𝗵 - founder of the Cornelia St Cafe, former Oxford, Fulbright and English-Speaking Union Scholar, who has taught, published, acted, directed and produced theatre on both sides of the Atlantic also a glorious friend, and 𝗧𝗼𝗻𝘆 𝗡𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶 - a native New Yorker, flaneur, fabulist and travel industry monarch.
Let us hope they are having more fun than I was in 1962 at my brother John's birthday.
