My wife and I had the privilege of meeting Norman and Leonora during a cruise on QE2 to NYC in 1990. He was a wonderful and humorous dining companion for those five days. We had exchanged Christmas greetings ever since until sadly this year.

Always fond memories of shared graduate school years and hospitality at his Lee' and Norman's home
