I am so sorry to hear the news of Mrs Konzevich's death. We have the absolute happiest memories of being taught by her in the early 1980s and of travelling to Minsk with her over Easter 1982. She was the most lovely lady. She always made us feel special in the classes, whether our performance was good or bad! And we also had a lot of fun. In a joint language seminar with Mr Johnson I remember her asking to borrow my scarf which she used to tie Mr Johnson to his chair! I can still hear her saying: I have now tied your teacher to his chair! All to teach us the verbs связать and развязать. Happy days! RIP.
