professor in Russia, Poland,
China and at the Weitzmann

His best friend and colleague

Mort, Diane and his chil-

Diane were volunteers at the
Detroit Institute of Arts for
25 years (having met at the
DIA), the Michigan Opera
Theatre; and they attended
many chamber music and
symphony concerts. Diane
was his wife of 30 years (shy

friends. She referred to them
as “one person.” She and his
family will miss him greatly.
