Dear Norman,
I’ve just read your message and am struck by the cruel outcome that came so early.
I express my sincerest condolences. I remember Jean as a crossword puzzle maniac, excellent tour guide (to me at least) and last but not least, expert on classical music. I still remember some of the conversations we had in the heat or in the rain of the English summers. A loss indeed.
