I loved reading your obituary about David Berger. Thank you for such a sensitive, honest and non-sentimental article.

I have fleeting memories of David, at one of the visits we non-residentail Pacific students made to the boarding house – sauna followed by swimming in the forbidden pool in the middle of the night.

David was a private person, as you say, with a deep innner preoccupation and was respected for that by all, I think.

I wonder if you remember me – I was called Judy – and my then boyfriend wasTony Douglas. I remember your fabulous honky-tonk piano playing, and also staying at your place in San Francisco on our epic journey hitch-hiking south to Los Angeles.

I wish I could have been at the Pacific reunion, but I am living in Budapest so travelling long distances takes some
organizing, but maybe the next one I can attend, with my son who is at university on Scotland.

If you get this email, please do contact me on

I would love to catch up!
Gregg Troll and Marianne, now Iris, came to visit Budapest last summer and it was wonderful to see them.

Best,
Jutka (Judy) Fischer
