Not sure what to say?

Walter, we were saddened to read about you Dad in the paper. My wife (Terri Lynn Wright, to the Ballet world) told me about his support and contribution together with your Mom and Tani, of course, to Austin's first Ballet Company
. She has fond memories of those days. Please give our condolences to Betty and Gina. Call us when you're in Austin.

I was very sorry to hear of Rick's passing. My father, Chad Oliver, was a colleague in the Anthro dept at UT Austin. My parents have both passed on now but I wanted to extend my sympathies!

Sorry to read of the passing of Dr. Adams. My sincere condolences to his family. I took his course on the cultural anthropology of Latin America in the fall semester of 1966 . He was an excellent professor and vey hard. I believe I got a "C" , but I sure learned a lot. One of the best courses and best professors I ever had. Que vaya con Dios!
