Madeleine F. and Arthur C. Morris

Aged 88 and 89, they passed away on May 3^rd, 2012, succumbing to the elements after a minor car accident in the Catskills. Learning that numerous 911 calls failed due to poor cellular coverage worsened the loss.  Arthur, originally from Cambridge (OH) was always a gentleman whose quiet disposition belied a dry sense of humor.  He graduated from Juilliard; a pianist and organist, he taught music and was a church organist on Long Island. Madeleine, born in Bellegarde, France, endured Nazi occupation and was named one of the Just for her actions during the war.  She immigrated to the USA; widowed at 30 and with two children, she earned a Ph.D. in French Literature at Columbia University.  She was a pioneer as one of the first women to become a professor at Brown University, and later taught at Queens College as well as the CUNY Graduate Center. She was an energetic leader with a passion for life, and remarried in 1963.  Arthur and Madeleine were inseparable, even in death, just shy of their 50^th anniversary.  Arthur is survived by his niece Emily and nephew Carl.  Madeleine is survived by her sister Dr. Colette Jeantet, two sons Ronald and Robert, a grandson Jeantet and a great-granddaughter, Lyra. A memorial service will be held at Noon on Saturday, May 12^th at the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, on 73^rd Street. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Doctors Without Borders in their names.

1. Why do you think I’m German? Why are all the adverts you send me adverts in German? I can’t read this. Whether it’s my laptop, workstation or work PC, you’ve got some algorithm somewhere that says I’m German. WTF? I mean, this is good because I’m unlikely to buy anything. But still, I’m curious what made you think that ich kann Deutsches sprechen?

2. I’m not interested in posts you think are relevant. I want my posts chronologically. Why do you keep changing my settings back to featuring crap that monkeys in a cube comment on, and that I don’t care about?

Sincerely,
Someone who is using you less and less every day.
