Sophie Rinvolucri (nee Leyris) was born in 1940 and wrote poetry in French and English She was married to Mario for 56 years and her kindness towards Mario’s EFL guests was exceptional. She is greatly missed by all Pilgrims trainers and Mario’s EFL colleagues and associates.

In 2008 HLT published a poem by Sophie called EFL Wife. Now I have found some more poems in my files which I would like to share with you.
