I will miss Nechama.
I met her in several conferences, but I have two special reminds of
her. One is during the post-conference trip after the polychaete
conference in Curitiba, Brazil. We shared several days visiting
Brazil. The other is during the conference in Madrid, and her
improvised talk remembering Antonio Campoy, she was very stirred, and
me too wuth her words; after that conference, we expent two days
visiting the Zoological Gardens in Madrid; she was very interested in
knowing the organization of these gardens because she was involved in
management of others in Jerusalem or Tel-Aviv. We spent two very nice
days and she was also in my home, knowing my family.
Nechama was always generous and plenty of energy. She was always very
nice with me and my family.
My condolences to her family, and also to all polychaete people. We
will miss you, Nechama. Thank you for everything.
