In loving memory of my beautiful father-in-law and friend, Martin Kluwer, who passed away a couple of days ago. Martin was more than family. He was a mentor and source of endless wisdom. His stories of growing up in wartime Holland, sharing ci******es with the N***s, who showed leniency to a curious kid past curfew always left me in awe. His deep, musical knowledge, and unwavering support of my music is a gift I will cherish forever. Scott and I loved watching Count Basie and the Dutch college swing band with him. Martin nurtured qualities in his children like sensitivity, kindness, honesty, compassion, respect, and equality. I’m so blessed to be with Scott. His legacy will always leave an indelible impression on my heart. I will miss you and love you forever, Julia ###
