the goats

One of my funniest memories of Liz was the first time we me back in 198? at a Christmas party at Piet Van Kesteren's home.  There were a lot of people there so seating was a premium ~ we ended up in the living room around a coffee table drinking wine and getting to know each other.  Since it has been a long time, I don't remember all of the wonderful details ot the conversation but the jist of it was how she raised her goats and the funny antics they would do in the backyard.  Liz had a wonderful imagination to personify her goats ~ and the conversation went from one of facts (we have goats) to this wonderful, hilarious story about how they played and interacted with her and each other!  

In later years, while working with Hans, occasionally Liz and I would have delightful phone conversations ~ sometimes for up to an hour or so just to make each other laugh.  She was a wonderful friend and "phone buddy"!  I will miss those conversations immensely!

With fond memories,

Kathy Marks
