He was a natural teacher; liked, knew and
respected each of his students and was,
of course the object of many a teenage crush.

I probably did 1 1/2 years of economics at Barnard because of him, before realizing that “the dismal science” was
dismal indeed, obtruse and generally not for me.

I will be dropping a condolence note to
your mother. I hope it is a consolation to you that your father, I’m sure, is
remembered as a special person and teacher, by hundreds of students, myself included, from Hastings High School.

Sincerely,
Shui Tor
