# Friends

Claudia Kaegi Smith.   My life companion, best friend, wonderful mother of our children, patient long-suffering partner, and now my wife. Where should I start?  At the beginning is probably the best place. We’ve been together for over twenty years.  I first met her in the office pretty much ...

As a socially awkward person who was more reserved and had lesser to share in a conversation, I felt...

To my dearest dad, Before I start, I must admit that it is rather difficult to write this tribute, as we rarely express our feelings.
