I first really got to know Lady Diana when she lived for a year in Northern California around 1975. I was dating a woman who was caretaking at Diana’s house. Gesar was about 3 and Ganesh the dog was everywhere. I easily connected with Diana as she was so available, funny, direct and honest. We both worked to try to navigate Gesar’s occasional outbursts, which took a lot of patience and strength.
Ever since then, when she and I occasionally met, we would resume our easy conversations which I appreciated for the clarity and dignity she always embodied.
I miss her so! Her presence will be missed but her legacy and example will live on. Fruitful journey, Diana!
