President of the West Health Institute when they met at Aspen — the supermodels sat at her table; a very good friend, and the vacation that never happened
This is Jonathan Hare's account, with its provenance shown. The person or organization named has not yet claimed or corrected it.
In Jonathan Hare's words, published as he gave them (S-192). At the Aspen Health keynote — Deepak Chopra's — a group of supermodels led by Elle Macpherson took the front table, 'probably because Shelley was so beautiful they thought it was the table reserved for beautiful people.' That is how he met Shelley Lyford — Shelley Valentine in those days — then President of the West Health Institute. 'Shelley is beautiful in every possible way, and we became very good friends, and came very close to becoming great friends by taking a vacation to Mexico, but sadly she got the flu at exactly the wrong time... Shelley will always be one of those wonderful experiences that I *almost* had that got away. I'll carry that one to my grave! Shelley always made me want to be a better person, and I am now. (Hi Shelley!)'
