"they were said to be a most united couple." [DANC]
We had a chance to visit them at their home in New York, where we heard about a little girl named Margie and an unrelated trip to Meiringen were responsible for sparking the interest that led to so many amazing things.
From arranging the quinquennial Sherlockian dinners at the Culinary Institute of America with Master Chef Fritz Sonnenschmidt, BSI ("Simpson's") to writing Dining with Sherlock Holmes, and providing us with the BSI year-in-review in verse and a second generation Sherlockian, Al and Julie have been sparking plugs for many others.
Join us to hear why this hobby is about more than the collective events and publications; it's about relationships.
We thank Mary Miller for her ongoing and generous support of our program on Patreon. Won't you be part of this ongoing success story?
