Dear friends,

In case the news has not reached you, let me take this opportunity to say that Norvin Hein passed away last month at his home in Bethany, Connecticut, not far from Yale, where he was active for many, many years.  There will be a ceremony in Bethany at noon tomorrow, which will include a sharing of food and memories.  Here are some of my own, posted from Vrindavan:

With thanks and best greetings to all,
Jack
