John wasn’t able to get from Rotterdam to Calgary for the funeral. But he was able to talk via Skype to Jude, Ed Glaser and myself.

John hopes to be able to attend any memorial hike scheduled by the Glaser family summer 2011.

It was nice to catch up with John since I’d not seen him in about 5yrs. He’s been M.I.A.

Starting in May he has a working “sabbatical” with IBM in New York. … Actually the “sabbatical” is an Anglo-American concept not common in the rest of the world. He’ll actually be working.
