Susan and her husband had a wonderful antique shop in the village where I met and became close friends with them, in the early mid fifties.

Susan was a delight and just slightly quirky. They had a large beautiful red setter that lost all the hair from it's tail. Susan fashioned a slip-cover of fringed red led leather to cover the embarassment.

When James was appearing with Joan Blondell in a production (I believe in Connecticut) he asked me to escort her on a concert tour to which she was already committed.

I would love to hear from their son, because I am sure there was a film in the late forties with her father as a folk singer, which is not mentioned. I think he recorded folk also.
