As you rightly state, he was in regular contact with my father, the late lobsang lhalungpa, and I have such direct memories, to say nothing of photographs of Gene with my parents…the veritable explosion of printing that took place meant that I caught the ink bug early as I tagged along with my father to the byways of old delhi and the clackety clack of printing machines…..after a long break, I was very happy to meet him some 4 years ago in New York and exchange memories of old days in india..as a scholar of tibetan you are well placed to gauge his contribution — in fact, we consulted Gene after my fathers passing for the best location of his many many pejas…and as always, he was generous with his time and energy. We could do worse than name some significant library/collection in his memory, as we seem so carried away by celebrity, this gives us a sense of the very real contributions that someone like Gene can make – long lasting, persistent and engaged, long after the celebrities have migrated to other more ” happening” causes…..warmest….Samphe
