Dear Otfried,
I would hesitate to take up more of your time, when you are in the middle
of your move from Berlin to Heidelberg,
except for the fact that I feel it is essential for someone from the southern
hemisphere and the antipodes to add his
voice to the chorus of thanks and appreciation for your Herculean labours over
the years. We are all shocked by
the failure of academe to enable you to do for generations of students what
you have done for so many of us - by
providing urbane and witty erudition with the utmost generosity, as well as
accomplishing miracles in computering
(and I trust that everyone has visited and admired your Dante site).
Everyone is delighted to know that you have no intention of abandoning us.
Thank you again for ALL you have
done. You and your family are accompanied by our warm affection and profound
gratitude -
John Scott (Perth, Australia)
