John Hasse, Smithsonian Institute
Dear Devra,
I am so sorry to learn of John’s passing. It has got to be a terrible, terrible loss.
Every time I saw John–whether at IAJE, the NEA Jazz Masters ceremony, or at your house–it became a sparkling moment in my memory. What a life! What a man! I feel privileged to have known him.
My heart goes out to you, Devra. Please accept a big hug across the miles. And please take good care of you.
John
