~~~Dick Kroon教授の奥様よりIODPコミュニティー宛のメッセージを頂きましたので共有いたします(2022年7月11日追記)~~~
Dear all,
I’d like to thank you for having Dick as SEP Co-Chair and, later, FORUM Chair. I am speechless at the care and respect you have given Dick, not only in his best of days but also in his passing.
For me, it is difficult to write anything to do with Dick grammatically in the past tense. It is hard to talk about Dick in the past tense.
I can say and write to you from the bottom of my heart that I have witnessed his preparation for the SEP and later the FORUM meetings on his laptop in our apartment and on his PC at work. It was done with a lot of thought, diplomacy, and, above all, passion. His aim was to secure IODP for many years to come.
Yours
Erica
