Franz,

I am honored to have been one of your mother's students in both folklore and medieval Irish literature at Santa Clara University.

Both programs were memorable. But in particular, Folklore with Dr. Long was unforgettable -- and a personal growth experience I continue to treasure.

I am sorry I didn't know more about her then, and even more sorry that, now that I do, I cannot go back and live that time over again, breaking through the student/professor barricade to know more about someone who was at one so rich in experience and so comfortable to be around.

Sincere condolences on your loss, and please know that she is remembered with both great esteem and great affection from this quarter.

Claire
