Sahib being the philanthropist and endearing person that he always was for all mankind, we were constantly going out to attend functions and get-togethers for the benefit of the needy such as The National Association for the Blind… the Physically Handicapped... The War Widows etc. He kept me on my toes and would be ready in a jiffy... I had to keep running to keep pace with him... If I were late I could hear the car horn downstairs screaming away to get me going! Will in future share his forays into shopping with me..."
