We knew, that he had a very broken health, that he had long been not writing or drawing, that his head was already living in other landscapes, but not because of this, his death penalty has been lower. Nor has he been surprised by the abundance of praising and laudatory words devoted to him. Deserved this tribute and others he did not have; he was honoured perhaps to overcome a greater lack of justice. From the mosty of our relationship with him, which had a daily tone and lasted almost from 1981 to 1991, which was the years in which he led us, as young trainees, in a gm anthropology working group at the Higher Council for Scientific Research, we would like to remind you and explain how much work and dedication he generously donated to this institution.
