As difficult as conditions have been in the trade in English antiques, no one, and that includes me, has had to wonder if friends or family were living or dead, where food to eat or water to drink were coming from, or required to sleep out of doors with no idea when or if shelter would be available. It is impossible to compare, or even to know, the ongoing misery in Haiti. And what to do? A generous gift to the Red Cross would be a good start.
