ALICE SILVERBERG
Our dear Alice Silverberg is understandably very lonely these days in the residential place where she lives, and would very much welcome phone calls. (She doesn't have a computer, and her mail doesn't seem to get delivered very reliably.)
Please give her a call if you have a chance: (661) 802-7887
She'd love to hear from you!
Many thanks.
