‘Alma was a very finely attuned, mystical person and she thought Brian was too. Alma went to his home many times and was bemused by his collection of hundreds of suits. They spoke often on the phone; Brian valued Alma’s thoughts on many things.’

- Sandra Caron [Alma’s sister] (The Man Who Made the Beatles by Ray Coleman)
