Hi Marcelo,

Thank you for writing. I'm glad my words helped.

An enormous loss. What a force of nature. What a Mensch.

So great to connect with you. You certainly taught him well. He knew economics like the back of his hand. Perfect intuition. He taught me a ton. So, I'm your student as well.

Take good care and stay in touch,

Warm regards, Larry

Larry, wonderful words. We are all mourning. I was his teacher in Chile at age 20, before Harvard. A great man. He did a lot for Chile, in my view his leadership during Covid was his finest hour.

Your last paragraph is particularly moving. I fits the words of Va Pensiero of Verdi played at his funeral when leaving the cathedral.
