Dear Anne: My sincere condolences on Myles's death. Myles was one of the first people I met when I arrived at Columbia in the fall of 1962. Others were George Rinehart, Jon Beck, Fred Linton, Steve Schanuel, all now gone. But I really got to know him in Zurich in 1967. I was, and still am, impressed by his mathematical accomplishments. Myles had a hard life. First his fall from a cliff, then losing one child (already unimaginable), then the second one, then his recent illness. But he bore it all with stoicism and grace. A real loss. Michael [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]

Very Dears, I just heard the sad news that Professor Bernhard Banaschewski passed away on November 1st. BB was my teacher and supervisor at McMaster University, 76 to 80. I spent a couple of times for my Sabbatical leave with him. I supervised many Master and PHD students in Iran including my first PHD student, Mojgan Mahmoudi, who also spent some months with BB at McMaster University. Mojgan and I taught our students what we learned from BB. We also invited him to Iran once and had a very good time with him. Now you can imagine how SAD we all are to hear that BB left us. Our condolences to all of you Very Kind Regards Mehdi ----- Ebrahimi, M.
