I met Anthony and Landra during our two years together in the MBA program at Harvard Business School. We were members of Section E in the class of 1972. Anthony was a good friend to all of us in the section (75 members) and to many of the larger class (800 members). We stayed in touch primarily via Christmas cards and occasional catch-up telephone calls after graduation. He was a good friend and I will miss him. My best wishes to Landra and to the rest of his family.

I was sorry to read of Anthony's death in Sunday's San Francisco Chronicle. We were contemporaries both Cambridge and Yale. At Cambridge, I was at St. John's College when he was at Clare. At Yale, I was a graduate student at the Law School while he was a Mellon scholar. He and I socialized together (quite frequently in the company of Rodney Ward, who was another Cantabrigian at Yale: he held the Henry scholarship). Much later, we saw each other periodically in San Francisco at the symphony and the annual Oxford & Cambridge boat-race dinner. Anthony was a very bright and agreeable man. My condolences to his family.
