[Oe List ...] Good bye to The

[McCabe, Diann A]

Wonderful story, John. Cooking in Indonesia--took me a year to even try. Now it's a part of our lives most every day. As is The.--Diann

Thanks for the notice, Dharma, and for the photo, Dianne. Pak The was a memorable person whose pedagogical skills ranged from HDTI's to overseeing the construction of the Bubun training facility. Perhaps a good way to celebrate a colleague's completed life is with a personal memory (one of many).

When we first arrived in Singapore in 1979, I was assigned to prepare lunch for the nexus with about 12 persons present. I started early and got a fragrant dish of nasi goering almost ready and was proud of the accomplishment. Then Pak The came into the kitchen and asked, "Where's lunch?" I pointed to my masterpiece, and his comment was "That's almost half enough for one already-full Indonesian!" He proceeded to help me prepare what I considered an obscene  amount of fried rice, but after the meal, there were no left-overs. After 39 years that's a lesson of introduction into Asia that stays with me.

Pak The now joins the great cloud of witnesses from whom we continue to draw inspiration.

Thank you Diann for the photograph. In my mind’s eye I can superimpose his younger face into that frame.

Thank you for sending this news, Dharmalingam. Terry and I got to visit Pak The (Mr. The) in Bogor on a visit there (related to math and our university) in 2013. We had tea and talked for a good while about our days with the ICA. I am attaching a picture of The and Terry McCabe--a bit grainy.


Pak The was a good man.
