Jon, who was killed in an automobile accident several years ago, was a dear friend and enthusiastic supporter of the Basque Studies Program. Author of a Basque grammar, txistulari, and a Basque dance instructor, he taught language and folk dancing in several of our summer sessions held in the Basque Country. The portrait was painted by Virginia Chan de Rijk, former assistant coordinator of the Basque Studies Program, who now resides in Amsterdam where she is pursuing an art career. The painting will be a cherished reminder of two wonderful people who contributed mightily to the success of the Basque Studies Program. |
