Very shocked to read of John's passing.
I have some very fond memories of John while working with him on the AFS Board. He and you Heather were both hugely influential in the AFS movement to achieve its goals. AFS brought people together and I will be forever grateful it lead me to know you both. Maxine and I send our love
