From Jean and Charles' friends Poul and Edna Scheibel from Denmark
We are very sorry to hear that Jean has passed away - unfortunately, we have missed being in contact with Jean for quite a few years - we suppose it might have been because of the Alsheimer. We surely miss both Jean and Charles and the few times we visited USA, we always took the time to visit them. As a matter of fact, we have never met such a nice couple. Edna and I joined a Ned Hermann seminar around 1982 and I
Was in the same group as Charles. After the seminar Charles invited us to visit them in Charlottesville. We found the Hutton Place - our car did not like the mountains very much and got hot - so I walked to the house, while Edna staid in the "boiling" car. Going to the Hutton House, the door opened and Jean came out(she did not attend the seminar and did not know me) she must have got quite a good description of me, because her first words were:"You must be Poul Scheibel from Denmark"!! She then called Charles - who attended a meeting over the mountains - drove back and gave us a big hug - and then returned back to his meeting. We were invited to stay in their house and they gave us their own bedroom, so we could listen to the "river" outside the window. We had some very lovely days together with them. Some years later, they visited us in Denmark, where we drove them to different places - Hans Christian Andersens House in Odense on the island of Fyn and later to the south of Jutland, where they saw a lot of birds, especially a black and white Storch - the clou for especially Jean. They both liked birds very much and when we visited them in Asheville, Edna had painted some birds as a gift. The last time, we saw both Jean & Charles, we all knew that it would be the last time, we might see them - it was a tough good-bye for sure.
