I remember Tain as an exceptionally friendly, smart classmate during the year we were classmates at JHU SAIS. He was someone who never knew another he didn't like, and he was liked by everyone.

Tain was a stand-up guy, exceptionally friendly and helpful to all his classmates at Johns Hopkins University. His leadership of the SAIS-Europe Class of 1968 Fellowship was a model for all of us on the fund-raising team.

What a terrible loss for his family and those who knew him . Throughout his life Tain had represented what is the best in all of us- kindness, a cheerful disposition, humor and basic decency. We will sorely miss him.

+RIP+. I enjoyed being at EHS with Tain for three years - he graduated the year after I did. A first class guy and a great soccer player. Gone too soon.

Tain was upright and a part of EHS for me. The 55th reunion gave me a chance to know him better.

I knew Tain as a classmate and friend at the School of Advanced International Relations, Johns Hopkins University. Tain was humane, interpersonal, supportive. One always knew Tain was there when you needed him. He told you not simply what you wanted to hear, but also what you needed to know. In this way his integrity was as solid at it gets. I am grieving at the loss of Tain's contribution to our learning community and to all of us.
