Dear Editors,
This sad message just in from Ejgil Christensen's daughter Signe. Ejgil was head of the Greeting Card Operation for several years, overseeing the transition to "Private Sector Division" and also the development of a new (and still used) logo, thereby unifying the dozens of logos that regions and countries were using up until then.

Dear all,
We come with the sad news that our father Ejgil passed away yesterday evening, July 24.
We were always by his side in the last days, holding his hands and stroking his hair, until the very end.
We will miss him very much but are thankful to have had the chance to have him in our lives as long as we did.
The memorial will be held on Friday, the 1st of August at 1:30 pm, in Finderup Kirke, where mom and dad were married 71 years ago, and where our moms parents were buried.
Love,

So saddened to learn of Ejgil's passing, another of our generation of UNICEF staff. We served together for many years in NYHQ and I always enjoyed his company and his no nonsense style of management. His handling of the Greeting Card Operation was a successful venture which many of the "old school" remember fondly. Though I was in a completely different function, I had a soft spot for this part of UNICEF's world since my early days in Beirut when I started the first national greeting card campaign in 1960/61. My sincere condolences to his Family. May he Rest in Peace.
