Dear Shah Children,

Although a grade behind me, his open smile, generosity of spirit and kindness left an indelible impression on those who had the privilege to know him. Because of your family heritage, he made Student Gov’t and Civic class very informative at a time when foreign relations in the US was rather heated. Yet, with tremendous understanding he explained the politics of the situation with the utmost of respect and humor. He was very brave person, who killed us with his kindness. And for the record, he was a world class debater and one heck of an extemporaneous speaker.

This is what I remember about your father.

All the best,

SNA
