I am for ever grateful to the gracious director of the International Poetry Forum , Dr. Samuel Hazo , for giving me the opportunity to participate, from 1983 to 2007, as a young singer/performer at the Forum , in three "Song and Verse" presentations /tributes to the two Nobel Laureate Greek poets, George Seferis (1963) and Odysseus Elytis (1979) .
I wish him well and will for ever remember his professionalism , grace and kindness.
