I wonder if Marlene has interviewed, whilst she is still on the planet, Sally de Barcza of NJ. Her late husband was Kary(Carles) de Barcza whose mother was a lady-in-waiting to the Empress Zita. I can provide contact unless already established.

Thanks for the kind offer but have not, and no need to do so.
