    I just discovered this remembrance for Professor Hanson in trying to track him down. He was a member of my thesis committee at Yale, and I treasure the memory of his wonderful positive spirit, so nicely captured in the Washington Post obituary.

    I do hope these very belated condolences succeed in reaching his family.
