Dear Mrs Ridgway, I'm delighted to wish you a happy 90th birthday! You and Miss Mellink set me on the path of archaeology which became and remains a major part of my life and soul. I remember your enthusiasm and sparkle with joy and trust it continues undiminished through your nonagenarian years!
I'm including a photo of me at Korocu Tepe, Turkey, 1969, with love and appreciation.
