[Oe List ...] re Titus Jayasekara

[LAURELCG at aol.com]

It was a great privilege of my life to know and work with Titus and Augusta 
 in Chicago. Renzi, sweet and shy at that time, was part of our family for  
awhile when Titus and Augusta were assigned elsewhere.
 
Eating Titus' curry on family night on Kemper's 5th floor, was a pleasure  
marked with some pain and stark revelatory awareness of the  spaces  in my 
head.
 
Fred and I traveled with Augusta and Titus to Japan in 1974. We were  
assigned to Tokyo, they were going someplace farther west, but stayed in  Tokyo 
overnight. Breakfast was very soft boiled eggs over steaming hot rice and  
something spicy. Titus looked ecstatic as he said, "Not like corn flakes, is  
it?"
 
I know it's a fantasy, but I love the image of Fred greeting Titus  with a 
great laugh and hug on the far-side bank of Jordan. Fred will  definitely 
want to remind Titus of the curry, never too hot for him.
 
Prayers for the Jayasekara family as they adjust to this loss.
