I'm repeating here what I have shared with some friends in private chats. I too have so many fond memories of places visited and time spent with lili. Her passing is indeed a sad occasion.

Pat was waiting for me at the luggage carousel in Krakow, and she was there at the check-in line at Le Meridien Grand Hotel Nuremburg and for gluhwein at Christmas market. We toured South Africa Parliament together.

Austrian (airline) in Vienna hosted us at their training facility. There was more than one Alaska DO including the infamous road trip from Nome to Teller which included a flat tire out on the tundra. Other transport challenges include the tiny leaky fishing boat trip across the South China Sea meandering around giant tankers as we went from Singapore to Malaysia.

I remember the annual “after party” on my rooftop patio during Soup DO, too many wine trips – check that – one cannot have “too many” wine trips. Remember Tarragona, Temecula, Pasco. Then there was also the Columbus Day Berlin DO and dinner atop the Reichstag, and so many more places.

What I said after violist's passing is also true of lili. There is nowhere in this world I can go that I will not think of her.
