Everyone who knows them should see it. A few neat, if low-res, pictures of Alex (and Saunders) at Coimbra = may be found as the jpegs http://home.att.net/~b.mikolajewska/booknook/titles/Symposium/Sym-03.jpg http://home.att.net/~b.mikolajewska/booknook/titles/Symposium/Sym-25.jpg or on the book pages http://home.att.net/~b.mikolajewska/booknook/titles/Symposium/S-06.htm http://home.att.net/~b.mikolajewska/booknook/titles/Symposium/S-19.htm and those before and after. While these may well NOT be the images = Jack meant, they may do until he provides more specific references. Of course, I, like all who had the privilege of coming to know Alex and Grace, mourn the passing of this cosmopolitan gentleman, quiet scholar, and supportive enthusiast for category theory. Would that I might know how to support Grace in these terrible hours: my heart goes out to her, as also to his children, both biological and mathematical. -- Fred
