This is very sad news indeed. A wonderful gift I have received in serving as a methodologist on these various ILSA expert groups is the privilege of learning a great deal about international education from all of you. One of my best teachers was Fons. By simply listening to him, I developed a sensitivity into how different cultures might respond to the instruments that we create. I have carried what I have learned from him into my teaching, and will continue to do so. I will deeply miss his intellect, kindness, and warmth.
