Dear friends,

Veikko asked me to announce me one sad news from Germany today. A member of METEOPTIC whose writings most of you have seen on several occasions in this newsgroup has passed away.

Today Jarmo Moilanen got a message from Berlin that Dr. Eberhard Tränkle, from Freie Universität Berlin, a pioneer and specialist in halo computer simulations has died. Coincidentally we might have been last to interview him. Eberhard was in United States among the scholars interviews for the Finnish Broadcasting  company one hour science television document on halos.

I am not happy to mention that Eberhard and I were for many years - one might say in exceptionally - bad terms with each other, but I am happy to say that we fixed our arguments in a very friendly manner last February in United States. He was a warm and friendly character and I he much appreciated amateur halo and other amateur sky watching work both in Europe and elsewhere.

Regards, Marko
