As I was preparing my Christmas Cards this year (2019) I thought I might try to google Terri’s name and it was with great sorrow I saw that she had passed away this last September. I met her is Rochester long ago when Andrew was working at Eastman-Kodak and I was attending the Eastman Music School and then later teaching at the Eastman School. Later when I had moved to Honolulu and she and Andrew had moved to New Canaan I would come to New York City for musical reasons and always contact her in New Canaan. She would always invite me (and also my wife when she would be traveling with me) up to her home and explain how do come there with 1 to 2 trains (depending on which station would be handy for her to meet me (us) at the station) and then take me to her home. She would invite me/us to dinner, and then put me/us up in her guest room for the night. In the morning we would have long talks at breakfast. In later years, after I retired, I would travel to NYC only rarely. So Christmas cards were one of the ways we could keep in touch. Frequently I would invite her and Andrew (and, after Andrew passed, just her) to come and visit us in California at our second home on the beach but that never worked out for her. She was a wonderful hostess and a very generous person. She was also so well versed in the Arts and culture in the broadest sense. It is with great sorrow that I say that I had much affection for Terri. I often think of her throughout the year with a very rare and special fondness. I miss her.
