I am very sorry to inform you that Bruce Bennett died on Saturday.
He had fought very bravely indeed against Cancer for a long time. We will all miss him, both as colleague and friend.
Best,
Lola Herrero

As many of you may already know, the AGM at Presov, which was placed under
severe constraints in view of the meagre turn-up for the Slovakian conference,
failed to elect a new Treasurer after the current one, Eleonore Wildburger from
Klagenfurt, has handed in her resignation in that capacity.
After the necessary exchange of e-mails between the colleagues who were elected
as members of the new Board at the Presov AGM, this problem was finally solved.
Please read the comments for information on donations. Thank you!
The sad news about about the passing of Dr. Ruby Langford Ginibi was shared with us by Oliver Haag (see below). His email then generated messages of sympathy (not quoted here) as well as the call you will read below. Thank you! /Gabi Espak/
