Q: How did you meet Raksha?
A: I met Raksha when Jan Andreassen returned from his trip to India married to Raksha. I sometime joked about them being like John Lemon and Yoko Uno. I've known them as a couple throughout the following years.
We would get together weekly, and my daughters knew them as Aunt Raksha and Uncle Jan. In the late 80s Jan joined me in my business "Focal Point Buildings" when we did small renovations and took on a major home construction in Glen Gardner. That project failed to be completed when our independent financial partner decided to stop contributing. The business was closed, but Jan and Raksha remained my closest friends. After Jan's death in 2006 I continued my close friendship with Raksha but getting together was less frequent in person and more frequent on the internet.
The photos are some of the good memories with Raksha.
