Nicola Rossi-Lemeni, I called him Maestro, was a huge force in my life.

I learned so much from him about just everything including food and living

a well-rounded life... Everything in moderation. He was an extremely

optimistic and loving mentor as well as a dear friend. He had so many stories

about great singers and his own experiences, most of them funny. I loved my time

with him and though he died in 1991, I think of him many times every day.

In this picture he had given me a two foot tall chocolate bunny for Easter.

Notice how impeccably he was dressed... A great man!!!
