Eugene Pysh Stevens

Because Gene was such a deep friend of both of us, we chose him to be best man at our wedding in Chicago back in December 31, 1960. We will long treasure his solos with the Yale Russian Chorus, now available on the internet.

His kindness to everyone lighted our lives at several points. When we were all students at Yale we enjoyed laughing together. Long before Gregory was born, Gene took a genuine interest in our young children, talking with them about animals and showing them kitchen chemistry. Our visits to Binghamton were especially enjoyable because Renata talked with us about her paintings on every wall of their home.

When Gene sent us a copy of his book, Green Plastics, we took it to Rangoon for our students in a pre-collegiate program. We have kept our eyes open at
supermarkets for biodegradable wrappers. Finally, our stores now have vegetable bags of green plastic. Jim and Dorothy Guyot
