Anne Riise has passed away
We have received a message of sadness from Norway. Anne Riise died suddenly on January 2nd in Oslo.
Anne was a long-time member of ours and participated already in the Hydra 2002 Event and later in many of our events around the world. She was also an active contributor to the Leonard Cohen Files and collected material to add to the site. In 2007 and 2013 she organized the get-togethers and the program for our members who gathered for Leonard's concerts in Oslo. She and her husband Knut had also registered for the Hamburg Event next August.
We remember Anne as a cheerful and sympathetic person. Our deepest condolences to Knut, Erik's family and others close to her.

That is shocking news to me. I was looking forward to meet Anne and Knut at the Hamburg event. I still can't believe it.
