Colleagues,
I am deeply saddened by the passing of Dmitri Nabokov. He was a person of many gifts, and a loving and dedicated son. He revered his father and adored his mother. I spent an evening with Dmitri Nabokov on 11 December 2011, and even though wheel-chair-bound, he was full of energy and spoke of being able to drive again—before long. And he voice grew especially tender when he remembered his mother. "She was wonderful...," he said.
I took a few snapshot of Dmitri that evening, and this one captures him the way he was just two months ago, looking so intellectually alive and so much like both of his parents.
