How wonderful to discover that Marianna has stayed loyal to Spitalfields through the years.
I hope that she hasn’t lost her love of opera either.

I would love to visit this house again. In the 1950s and 1960s my father leased two rooms at No. 3 from his friend David Kira, a banana importer who owned numbers 1 and 3. My father had a costume jewellery manufacturing business in two rooms on the first or second floor – can’t recall which. I remember the wonky floor boards, the tiny basin on the landing and the rickety stairs. As a child, I went up those stairs wondering whether they would still be there when I had to come down again.

Marianna Has always been something special from the day she was born.But so are her brothers and sisters each with there individual remarkable talents and accomplishments.
The artistic side I believe comes from my side of the family background and the scholarly
side from their mothers side.
Mary and I had five very wonderful children and as Dad here loves to say (Not a Dud in Five)
Take Care,
Wm.T.Kennedy
