He said: "She wasn't beautiful, but a few of our friends fell for her. She was ernest and politically aware and she did what she had to do, even getting arrested once or twice. She did what she wanted and didn't care what anyone else thought of her. She could be funny when she was relaxed and was ready at any time to help a friend or a friend of a friend. She traveled a lot in her work and so made friends over a large part of the world. I loved listening to her tell some story from wherever it was she was coming back home from; about the weather or about the corrupt leadership in this place or that or about what it was like to do the things she did as a woman. It was apparently not that different from what a man might do in the same circumstance and I guess now that was what her stories was about in the end. She was a unique person; a friend and a lover. She was her own self completely. In the end, I think that was enough."
