We are profoundly sorry to hear of Jay's passing. I worked with him when I was at the CAP, where I found him to be delightful, knowledgeable and a truly effective pedagogue. I have known Maija for more than 30 years and my heart goes out to her and Jay's family on his passing. May his memory be a blessing to all. I know the CAP is a better place and we are all better for having known and worked with him.
