Undskyld hvis denne mail ikke er velkommen. I så fald slet den. Jeg gik i skole med Hassan, og vi lavede teater sammen. Og på et tidspunkt hvor jeg glemte replikkerne, reddede han situationen så publikum intet mærkede. Det tror jeg ingen andre kunne have gjort - og tæl Poul Reumert med! Derudover gjorde han mig meget stolt. Da vi blev studenter ('68) blev der uddelt to (2) 13-taller i hele Danmark. Hassan fik det ene - og jeg syntes det smittede lidt af på mig. Jeg har ikke haft kontakt med ham siden skoletiden, men jeg satte stor pris på ham. Jeg tror faktisk det var gensidigt. Alt godt til dig og familien!
Venlig hilsen,
Peter Franck
My apologies if this email is not welcome. In that case please delete it. I went to school with Hassan, and we did theatre together. At one time I forgot my lines, and he saved the situation so well that the audience never even noticed. I don't think anyone else could have done it, including (famous Danish actor) Poul Reumert! Beyond that he made me very proud. When we were students in 1968 only two perfect GPAs were awarded in all of Denmark. Hassan got one of them, and I think maybe a little rubbed off on me. I haven't had any contact with him since school, but I remember him very fondly. All my best to you and your family.
