When I was still in San Francisco, waiting for my clearance to get into Australia, my good friend Holly rang and asked what the names of Stevie’s parents were.

She was chief concierge at the Hyatt and there was a Jewish couple from Melbourne at her desk, so she told them that her good friend was going to marry a guy from Melbourne, so they asked who – when she told them it was the son of Bunty and Harold Davis, they said, “Tell your friend that she’s marrying into one of the best families in the world!” I think we can thank Bunty and her family ethic for that!

My friend then said, “Well, that’s good because my friend will be the best daughter-in-law in the world” – since i’m the only daughter-in-law, I guess that can be true.

As Harold used to say, “The best girl in the boys’ class!”
