Dear Mrs. Brady and family, We are so sad to learn about sad demise of Dr. Brady. We have so many fond memories of working at IRRI under his leadership. He was a caring boss and encouraged us and supported us in our research for the benefit of rice consuming world and poverty alleviation. Major advances were made in rice science during his tenure as Director General of IRRI. We pray for the peace of his soul. Gurdev and Harwant
