Abstract
This is a very personal summary of the theory developed by Susan Speer Owicki under supervision of David Gries. I had a flu, and on its first day I just slept and shivered; later I passed the time in bed with trying to reconstruct what I had learned from reading in Susan Owicki’s doctoral thesis. If the following fails to do justice to their work —someone has borrowed my copy of her thesis!— I am the only one to blame.
