(Cleo) took Ann out to
dinner to celebrate her birthday, and Ann picked the
Mariposa, since she had never been there. Ann had several
martinis and steak and lobster, and it turned out to be a
very extra precious evening for Cleo in retrospect.
Cleo and I just returned
from Malaysia via Tokyo, and were shocked to find out that
Ann had passed away the day before Cleo last saw Ann on her
birthday. She took Ann out to dinner to celebrate her
birthday, and Ann picked the Mariposa, since she had never
been there. Ann had several martinis and steak and lobster,
and it turned out to be a very extra precious evening for
Cleo in retrospect. At that very moment, I was
in New York, and had lunch with Maxine Greene, who always
asks about Ann--having known her for many many years as a
fellow education professor. Maxine is frail, and bent, but
still active in meeting with students and giving her
inspring talks on aesthetics and education. We discussed
Ann's professional work over the years, and I was to convey
her good wishes to Ann when I had returned. Our granddaughter Nicole,
who recently visited Ann with Cleo, said she was very
worried--she wondered who would take care of the cats; the
cats immediately had taken a liking to Nicole and showed off
themselves to her delight. Victor & Cleo
