Andreas,
Whenever I read of the passing of someone like Mr Anderson, I feel saddened; not only for the loss to the person's family and friends, but the loss of skill, talent and knowledge to us all. At 90, he lived a full measure of life and then some but I am sure that if any of us could have met the man, sat down with him, we could in a very short time have learned things none of uss will ever read in any book. My condolences to all

Brian
