I had a really good, romantic, lovely life. We were drinking buddies back in the 70s. We went to Cambria. We spent four days on the road and came back to Los Angeles. He dropped me off, and I never saw him again. Within six months, he was dead.
He was a good friend, and I miss him terribly. These days, Stewart is enjoying her retirement. Stewart now resides in Napa, California, where she spends her time working in her studio. I eat healthy. My husband cooks everything. We have so much fun together.
