I awoke this morning to news of the death of Bob Guccione, the founder of Penthouse Magazine, which he started in 1969. This is not a publication in which you, my dear Yael, are ever likely to have an interest. But I am sure your father has glanced at a few copies of this men's magazine in his youth.
In the spirit of full disclosure, Guccione's passing attracted my attention because I had a fling with the editor of the UK edition of Penthouse some years ago. She was an interesting woman who was born in Jamaica and was brought up in Britain. Her name was Grace Hudson. She moved to New York where I saw her from time to time. But I lost touch with her many years ago.
Goodness knows what you will think of your Grandfather having read all of my disclosures.
