Claudia's tribute to Dr Geza

Source

We were saddened to read of the recent death of Dr  Geza Fehervari. Several Archive staff / education officers were welcomed by Dr Geza to the TRM in Kuwait over the years. His excellent books were gifted to our Library by Jehan. They are not only a great resource, they provide a legacy we will always treasure.

For both staff who met Dr Geza, and those who did not have the opportunity: Claudia Farkas Al Rashoud's absolutely wonderful tribute in the Arab Times is well worth reading.
