    He asked me to see if folks had any interesting stories, comments,
    observations about Souzay -- so please post them. I think he is
    particularly interested in anecdotes, bon mots, and personal experiences.

    I hope I'm not confusing him with another singer, but here goes. I was
    told, in _strict_confidence_, that he has or had a wealthy benefactress
    in St Paul (that's Minnesota) and that this relationship was also a
    romantic one. And that he spent quite a bit of unpublicized time in St
    Paul. I don't know who the woman is, but there are a few old families
    here that my guesses would center on. The whole story is so
    uncharacteristic for corn-fed Minnesota, that I'd love to know more.

    I have a personal (and long) story that I believe sheds definitive light on the identity of the "wealthy benefactress in St. Paul" musings by Chris and David way back in '93. If anyone here is (still alive and) interested, email me and I will paste my
    saga back to you.
