I wanted to thank you for posting your translation of your father's article.
"Adolphe Ferrière and Paul Geheeb: A true Friendship by Yehuda H. Zeilberger"
I was born in Zürich in 1950 and my family moved to Canada in 1951.
But I attended Geheeb's École d'Humanité in 1960, where I had a conversation with Paulus not long before he died. If you like I'll send you a one-pager about that contact. And I was close to Frau Hartig and Frau Edith Geheeb who are mentioned in your article.
Pierre Bovet, Paul Geheeb, and Adolphe Ferrière are all in this photo And in 1967-68 I attended school in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, and lived in Grandchamp, Areuse (near Boudry), the home of Ferrière's associate Pierre Bovet. Unfortunately I arrived there a couple of years after Pierre died, but I became close to Bovet family members and I'm still in touch with one or two.
So -- after decades these connections live on.
Thank you again for bringing them back in this unexpected and meaningful way!
