Extract from a farewell note to John. MJThough we might not have climbed mountains together, the valleys traversed were rewarding. Steadfast in all your dealings, you were an exceptional team leader whether on posting or driving cultural change. Your ability to communicate so efficiently secured the trust of your colleagues and admiration of your many friends. Whatever the challenge that came your way, you took it on, a quiet determination underpinned by compassion and honesty, qualities instilled in those early years.And over the past decade thanks to the Internet, some have been fortunate to share your insights, drawing on the knowledge gained from a life of service on the global stage. You have been our own private Anne Applebaum!Be at peace mate and thank you for your kindnesses to so many,
