Dear Lisa,
Please receive Stefi's, Edna's and my condolences.
I can only say that I deeply regret Fridl and I lived so far away, one from
another.
But we had 4 primary classes together in Czernowitz and a10th grade year in
Bucarest, on the same bench in class.
Later 4 or 5 meetings at sometimes intervals of more than ten years.
Last when he accompanied Eva to the Technion congress 3 years ago.
For the short time that remains, I will probably think of him every day.
Sad, very sad,
Berti.
