We are thinking of you all during this time of grief.

Most importantly of all, we wish to express our condolences to John's husband, his family and his close friends. You are in our hearts and in our thoughts.

We will be in touch in due course to let you all know how we will pay homage to John once we have processed this awful news, and had the opportunity to collect our thoughts and our memories of our wonderful, kind, intelligent and warm friend.

Words cannot express our deep sadness to learn the devastating news that our dear friend, colleague and Ambassador, John J. Johnston has sadly passed away yesterday morning.

On the one hundred and fortieth anniversary of her birth, remembering the iconic Theda Bara (1885-1955). Said to have been born within the shadow of the Sphinx, she was cinema’s original vamp and Hollywood’s first Cleopatra, starring in J Gordon Edwards,’ sadly lost, epic from 1917. #Egyptomania

Having only just returned to social media, plus having my Gmail account restored, I feel fortunate to have been informed/reminded, just in time, of the excellent ISSE conference happening this weekend.
