the class-o-matic

Sadly, our old friend and colleague Henry Lehmann

passed away yesterday.

I'd known Henry for about 25 years. He was a

real gentleman, a sweet and funny fellow, who really

loved to tell stories.

I can remember him as a young sharp and shiny Boulevardier,

talking and writing about art with enthusiasm and skill, and I can

also remember him as a white haired emeritus, slowly taking

his students about a gallery.

Henry was a rare kind of person, always gracious, elegant of mind and fair.

I will miss him. He was a diamond.
