My
first impression of Grahame white was that his use of words
was difficult to understand, from a foreigner’s point
of view. In the meantime, I was amazed about his erudition.
Each time I asked him one question, he would write down as
much as he knew in the A5 notebook for 2 to 4 pages,
in full.
At the early study of my PhD, I wasn't very confident about
my English. After one conversation with Grahame about this,
he bought a book " Ways of Seeing" by
John Berger to me. He reassured me that I shouldn't worry too much and
this book could help. I realized that he was a very thoughtful
and caring person.
He gave me another surprising gift - a silver spoon,
which was once related to my project. Now I am not
carrying this project, but the silver spoon carries
the memory of him.
After all, I like to say thanks Grahame and hope he is in the peace of
Heaven.
