My sincere condolences to The Short family and friends.
Susan was a dear friend and colleague. We had planned to travel to Paris next spring to celebrate my 60th birthday. Susan wanted to do yoga at the base of the Eiffel Tower, while I went up it. We were going to Versailles and both Susan and I were going shopping at Chanel-in fact, I wanted to reach out to well connected colleagues to see if they could assist us for a visit to Coco Chanel's private apartment on the third floor of Maison Chanel.
Susan was such a character, on a trip to Montreal before the pandemic, we found Ste-Catherine St closed to vehicular traffic for a summer festival, and happened upon an expensive muscle sports car. Susan brazenly walked over to the owner of the car, and asked him if she could sit in his car.
You can imagine the look on my face when she did that, but the car owner said, Yes and Susan got in. She asked me to take a photo of her on my cellphone. I gladly did. Only Susan could pull off sitting in a half million dollar car.
Sincerely,
Robert Barnes
