[Xmca-l] Re: Vera John-Steiner has passed away

[Annalisa Aguilar]

Hi,


Thanks for posting the link, Robert, and Peter too, for his slideshow creation!


It's wonderful and comforting to see Vera being honored. I wish I could have gone to that event and heard what everyone had to say.


Kind regards,


Annalisa

Thanks, tho I know I wasn't the photographer, only the one who assembled the batch into a slide show. But always happy to remember Vera and her legacy!
