A tribute
Share card for the tribute from Ahmed El-Sheikh (PNG image)“[Placeholder] He never answered a question with an answer. He answered with a better question, and then waited, with that patient half-smile, until you found your own way to it. I still hear him when I teach.”
The book of remembrance
-
-
“[Placeholder] At home he was the same as in the lecture hall: curious, kind and unhurried. The books were everywhere, and so was the welcome.
We miss him every day.”
-
“[Placeholder] We met at a conference in 1979 and corresponded for forty years. His letters were lessons in how to disagree gracefully.”
-
“[Placeholder] He taught me to look twice before answering, and three times before writing it down. This text is placeholder copy.”
-
“[Placeholder] A friend of the family for half a century. His lessons continue in every student he taught, and in all of us who knew him.”
