Dear Ron,
Olivia Sklar, our wonderful next-door neighbor whose friendship Alfred and I treasure
(along with that of her husband, Peter Powchik) asked me to write you a letter about her
carport project. It is my pleasure!
Olivia is one of the warmest, nicest, most creative, ebullient, intelligent people I know.
She is a perfect next-door neighbor, even going so far as to share, on occasion, her figs when
they are at the peak of ripeness and perfect for eating. How many people do that?
I love when she and I bump into each other and she has time to talk because then we
can chat about the theater (she co-founded and ran for ages Hudson Stage), and it is so
interesting to me. I love what Olivia and Peter have done with their beautiful home—it
enhances Georgia Lane—and any time they’ve made a change or improvement they have given
us a heads-up so we are in the loop. As they have done now with the carport project, so Alfred
and I have no objection to their building it.
Olivia is generous in sharing her valuable contacts so when I ask for a recommendation
for this or that, she gives me one or two and they’re always fabulous. Alfred concurs.
I hope this brief letter lets you know what I think of Oliva and Peter as friends and
neighbors, and I hope this letter serves its purpose. Please call me if you need more
information.
Best wishes,
Katherine
