My Dearest Jos,
I first met you in 1972 when I took Level I in Toronto. It was a life changing moment for me. Since that time, you have become my teacher, my mentor, my colleague and my very good friend. You were instrumental in shaping my life and in so doing shaping the lives of the many students and adults I taught.
I wish you a very, very Happy 90th Birthday. And I wish you much joy and peace as you begin your next journey around the sun.
